In TRADER: Tree Ring Analysis of Disturbance Events in R

Overal function for Splechtna et al. 2005 type of releases analysis.

Description

Splechtna is a combination of radial-growth averaging and boundary-line technique.

Usage

splechtnaALL(data, releases = NULL, m1 = 10, m2 = 10, boundary = NULL, 
  buffer = 2, drawing = TRUE, criteria = 0.2, criteria2 = 0.5, 
  segment = 0.5, segment2 = 0.5, gfun = mean, 
  length = 2, notop = 10, notop2 = 10, storedev = pdf, 
  prefix = NULL, ...)

Arguments

data	A data.frame with series as columns and years as rows such as that produced by read.* function of dplR .
releases	Optional parameter usable for precomputed releases.
m1	Determines the number of years to be averaged (including target year) for period prior the potential releas.
m2	Determines the number of years to be averaged (including target year) for period prior the potential releas.
boundary	Boundary line function of one argument, eg. boundary=function(x) {5.0067*exp(-0.664*x)}
buffer	Number of years determining how close to one another two releases can be.
criteria	Threshold for detection of moderate release
criteria2	Threshold for detection of major release.
segment	Determines length of the segment on which prior growth will be divided
segment2	Determines length of the segment on which first mm of prior growth will be divided.
prefix	Prefix of saved files.
gfun	Determines if M1 and M2 values are mean or median for selected period.
length	Determines how many years have to be given critera exceeded to be considered as release.
notop	Number of highest data points for fitting the boundary line.
notop2	Number of highest data points for fitting the boundary line in the segments for first mm.
storedev	Format for saving the graphical outputs, eg. pdf or jpeg.
drawing	If TRUE, graphical outputs for individual trees.
...	Further arguments pasted to plot function.

Details

Splechtna is a combination of radial-growth averaging and boundary-line technique. This method was developed by Splechtna, Gratzer & Black (2005) and as a potential release accepts only growth pulses exceeding 50% growth change according to Nowacki & Abrams (1997). Only these potential releases were then scaled relative to the boundary line.

Value

Write many tables and figures in the current directory.
