height.korf: Simple height function

In sitree: Single Tree Simulator

Simple height function

Description

A simple tree height function based on tree species, and DBH. It returns the difference between the height at the current period (this.period) and the next period.

Usage

height.korf(common.vars, this.period, tr,  dbh.inc.mm, ...)

Arguments

common.vars	A list with at least an element named 'spp' with the species group composition.
this.period	The period for which to calculate the height of the trees.
tr	A trList.
dbh.inc.mm	A vector with the projected dbh increment.
...	Currently not used

Value

A vector with tree heights increments in dm.

Examples

foo.matrix <-  matrix(0, nrow = length(tr$dbh), ncol = (5 +1))
colnames(foo.matrix) <- paste("t", 0:5, sep = "")
foo.dbh <- foo.height <- foo.matrix
foo.dbh[,1] <- tr$dbh
foo.height[,1] <- tr$height

trl <- list(
  plot.id  = tr$plot.id,
  treeid    = tr$treeid,
  dbh.mm    = foo.dbh,
  height.dm = foo.height,
  yrs.sim   = rep(0, nrow(tr)),
  tree.sp   = factor(tr$tree.sp)
)
tr.i <- trList$new(data = trl, nperiods = as.integer(5))

common.vars <-  prep.common.vars.fun(
  tr = tr.i,
  fl = fl,
  this.period    = "t0",
  i.period       = 0,
  common.vars    = "NULL",
  mng.options    = NA,
  vars.required  = c("spp"),
  period.length = 5
)
height.korf(common.vars = common.vars$res, this.period = 't0', 
    tr.i, fl, dbh.inc.mm = runif(nrow(tr.i$data$dbh.mm), 5, 80))
