abstract: Provides neutral landscape models (<https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02275262>,
  <https://sci-hub.in/10.1007/bf02275262>). Neutral landscape models range from "hard"
  neutral models (completely random distributed), to "soft" neutral models (definable
  spatial characteristics) and generate landscape patterns that are independent of
  ecological processes. Thus, these patterns can be used as null models in landscape
  ecology. 'NLMR' combines a large number of algorithms from other published software
  for simulating neutral landscapes. The simulation results are obtained in a spatial
  data format (raster* objects from the 'raster' package) and can, therefore, be used
  in any sort of raster data operation that is performed with standard observation
  data.
