Our final experiment for this section involves manipulating how the basal producers compete with each other. The default paramterisation of the model has each producer growing via the logistic equation and competing with itself via density dependence. There is only intraspecific competition, no interspecific competition.

We can modify this assumption by invoking another function called `ProducerCompetition`. This function acts like `Environment` that we use to set `K` and `BioenergeticResponse` that we used to modify the functional response between Type II and Type III.

The theory to recall is that coexistence among species is mediated by the balance between intraspecific and interspecific competition. When intraspecific competition is greater than interspecific competition, there is coexistence. However, when interspecific competition is greater than intraspecific competition, there will be compeitive exclusion and no coexistence.

We call the competition parameters $\alpha$. $\alpha~ii$ defines intraspecific competition and $\alpha~ij$ defines interspecific competition. The $\alpha~ij$ defines how the species $j$ reduces the carrying capacity (equilibrium) of species $i$.
