Extracts network object into a list

Separates the components of a network object into separate components within a list. This includes inputs, exports, respirations, outputs (exports + respirations), storage, and internal flows.

Usage

unpack(x = "network object")

Arguments

x: A network object. This includes all weighted flows into and out of each node.

Value

F: matrix of flows from each node to each node oreinted row to column.
z: Node boundary inputs.
r: Node boundary loss from respiration.
e: Node boundary loss due to exportation
y: Node boundary loss; summation of r and e
X: Node storage or biomass
living: Logical vector indicating whether each node is living or not

Details

Flows are oriented from row to column.
