Discussing the results of Altitude B raster, we think it would be a good idea to re-run the analysis with an additional raster assuming no dispersal above and below a given altitude.
Basically we want something like the "grey ring" of Altitude B, but where high conductance will be allowed (black instead of grey).
For this:
[x] Use a conductance matrix where:
We gave maximum levels of conductance (1) from the minimal (3010) to the maximum altitudes (3386) of our sampling. Altitudes outside of our sampling area but where Abies can still be found were assumed to allow conductance to a lesser degree (.2). Altitudes outside our sampling and Abies range were allowed no conductance (0).
