biomod2
Ensemble species distribution modelling
biomod2 is an R platform for ensemble forecasting of species distributions. It combines a wide range of modelling algorithms — from GLMs to random forests and neural networks — so that methodological uncertainty can be tested and combined rather than hidden, and projects species' potential distributions under current or future environmental conditions. It now also handles abundance, count and ordinal data, beyond presence-absence.

R package · vegetation dynamics modelling
FATE–HD (RFate)
Spatially explicit vegetation dynamics
FATE is a spatially and temporally explicit vegetation model built around plant functional groups. It simulates demographic cycles, seed dispersal, light and soil competition, and disturbance regimes (grazing, mowing, fire, drought) to project vegetation dynamics and diversity across landscapes and through time. The RFate package covers the full workflow, from parameterisation to simulation and analysis.
