New structure with new libraries for InitialPop, Production and Dispersal

[mcwimm]

Previously we had 1 library managing the initial population and recruitment, including the number of recruits, their size and distribution. This has now been split into three sublibraries which define the initial population, the production of seeds or seedlings and their dispersal. This naturally leads to a new structure for the control file.

The current implementation should allow for backward compatibility.

The implementation of the following modules is still missing:

• size dependent seed production
• weighted dispersal
• parent-dependet dispersal

Please check out the dcos, too.
(You can build them locally with: pdoc --docformat google --math --mermaid -o ./docs ../pyMANGA/)

Hello Marie,

I’ve reviewed the changes and believe they are correct. I couldn’t find any errors. The only thing I noticed is that in the XML files, the start and end times are given differently. While this doesn’t lead to errors, it is a bit inconsistent.

I also reviewed the documentation, and nothing else stood out to me. Everything was clear and understandable.

Afterward, I tested all the modified XML files, including with different parameters. All of them worked, except for BenchmarkList.xml. This one didn’t work, though I’m not sure if it’s supposed to.

Best regards,
Chris
