Pull out the values from speciesEcoregion table for current time

speciesEcoregionLatestYear(speciesEcoregion, currentTime)

Arguments

speciesEcoregion

A data.table with species-ecoregion-specific species trait values. Ecoregion refers to "ecolocation", a categorical variable grouping sites with similar biophysical characteristics. The table should have at least the following columns: speciesCode and ecoregionGroup, character representation of species and ecoregion groups respectively, maxB the maximum biomass for the species in a given 'ecoregion', maxANPP the maximum aboveground net primary productivity and SEP the species establishment probability. May contain columns inflationFactor (used to adjust maxB) and mANPPproportion (used to calculate maxANPP).

currentTime

The current simulation time e.g., time(sim).

Value

The speciesEcoregion input object, but with data from only one year, the year that is less than or equal to the currentTime
