Climate-sensitive site index models for Norway

Description

Implementation of models for climate-sensitive site index models for Norway as described in Antón-Fernández et al. (2016).

Usage

AM2016ClimateSensitiveSINorway(soilquality, t.early.summer, waterbal, SI.spp)

Arguments

soilquality	A factor with levels 1 to 5 indicating the soilquality category. 1 being the poorest soils and 5 the best soils
t.early.summer	A vector with sum temperatures (in C) in spring and early summer (april, june and july)
waterbal	A vector with the montly moisture surplus in June (difference between the 30-year mean precipitation in June and mean potential evapotranspiration in June.).
SI.spp	SI species, that is, the species for which SI should be calculated. 1 = spruce, 2 = pine, 3 = birch.

Value

Returns a vector with the estimated SI.

Examples

                                t.early.summer = c(10,20,30,10),
                                waterbal = c(-40, 20,10,10),
                                SI.spp = c(1,2,2,3))
