A 10 x 15 numeric matrix of multiplicative scaling factors for refuge density under a recovery trajectory. Each row corresponds to a 5 cm refuge size bin (0-5 cm through 45-50 cm) and each column to a simulation year (column 1 = bleaching year, columns 2-15 = post-bleaching years 1-14).
Format
A numeric matrix with 10 rows (refuge size bins) and 15 columns (time steps). Row names are size bin labels; column names are integers 1 to 15.
Details
In the recovery trajectory, reefs experience an initial decline in refuge availability followed by a sustained partial recovery above pre-disturbance levels. Small and medium bins recover more quickly than large bins.
Values are derived from inst/data-csv/deg_scales.csv by computing
multiplier = 1 + delta for each cell.
