ZoneController

Also known as
Model type	Tool
Model part of larger framework	LandLab
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Regional-Scale
Model domain	Terrestrial, Ecosystems
One-line model description	Controls zones and populates them with taxa.
Extended model description	This object manages ‘zones’ that are used to evaluate the spatial aspect of taxa. A zone represents a portion of a model grid. It is made up of spatially continuous grid nodes.

Describe input parameters	grid : RasterModelGrid A Landlab RasterModelGrid. zone_function : function A function that return a mask of the total zone extent. The first input parameter of this function must be `grid`. minimum_area : float, optional The minimum area of the zones that will be created. neighborhood_structure : {'D8', 'D4'}, optional The structure describes how zones are identified. The default, 'D8' evaluates the eight neighboring nodes. The diagonal neighboring nodes are excluded when 'D4' is selected. initial_time : float, int, optional The initial time. The unit of time is unspecified within the controller. The default is 0. kwargs Keyword arguments for ``zone_function``. Do not include ``grid`` in kwargs because ``grid``, the first parameter of this method, is automatically added to ``kwargs``.
