Plot Rarefaction Curves

Draws per-site rarefaction curves (expected richness as a function of the number of individuals sampled) using the long-format output from calculate_rarefaction.

Usage

plot_rarefaction(rarefaction_data)

Arguments

rarefaction_data

A data frame with columns SiteID (factor/character site label), SampleSize (non-negative integer), and RarefiedRichness (expected species count).

Value

A ggplot object.

Details

Each site/quadrat is drawn as a separate line. Colors are mapped to SiteID using a discrete viridis palette for readability.
