View source: R/vol.fvs.ni.m3.R
This vectorized function uses models and parameter estimates from Wykoff et al. (1982) to predict tree volumes given tree heights (m) and over-bark diameter measurements (cm) taken at 1.37 m (4'6”). The function vol.fvs.ni.bdft performs the computation in imperial units, and vol.fvs.ni.m3 is a wrapper for convenience.

|
spp |
Tree species. Must be one of: WP, WL, DF, GF, WH, WC, LP, ES, SF, PP, MH |
dbh.cm |
Tree diameter, cm, measured at 1.37 m. from the ground. |
dbh.in |
Tree diameter, in., measured at 1.37 m. from the ground. |
ht.m |
Tree height, m. |
ht.ft |
Tree height, ft. |
The species are: WP = white pine, WL = western larch, DF = Douglas-fir, GF = grand fir, WH = western hemlock, WC = western red cedar, LP = lodgepole pine, ES = Engelmann spruce, SF = subalpine fir, PP = ponderosa pine, and MH = mountain hemlock.
The function returns a vector of tree volumes, in cubic metres.
The function doesn't perform any input checks. Caveat computator.
