Dear Simone, Function rarefy uses the function developed by Hurlbert, thus if you need slope in a certain point (as your graph suggests) you can calculate the derivative of this function. It is not an easy job, because factorials should be derived. See cues here how it can be done:

[R-sig-eco] slope for rarefaction curve

2015-05-10 Thread Simone Ruzza
Dear all, apologies for the total beginner's question. I was wondering if anyone can give some advice on how to calculate the slope for the last 10% of the records of a rarefaction curve computed with rarefy from vegan. Here is a graphic representation of what I would like to do:
