Prediction Function of the Accumulated Days Transferred to a Standardized Temperature Method Using Mean Daily Temperatures

Description

Predicts the occurrence times using the accumulated days transferred to a standardized temperature (ADTS) method based on observed or predicted mean daily air temperatures (Konno and Sugihara, 1986; Aono, 1993; Shi et al., 2017a, b).

Usage

predADTS(S, Ea, AADTS, Year2, DOY, Temp, DOY.ul = 120)

Arguments

S

the starting date for thermal accumulation (in day-of-year)

Ea

the activation free energy (in kcal \cdot mol{}^{-1})

AADTS

the expected annual accumulated days transferred to a standardized temperature

Year2

the vector of the years recording the climate data for predicting the occurrence times

DOY

the vector of the dates (in day-of-year) for which climate data exist

Temp

the mean daily air temperature data (in {}^{\circ}C) corresponding to DOY

DOY.ul

the upper limit of DOY used to predict the occurrence time

Details

Organisms exhibiting phenological events in early spring often experience several cold days during their development. In this case, Arrhenius' equation (Shi et al., 2017a, b, and references therein) has been recommended to describe the effect of the absolute temperature (T in Kelvin [K]) on the developmental rate (r):

r = \mathrm{exp}\left(B - \frac{E_{a}}{R\,T}\right),

where E_{a} represents the activation free energy (in kcal \cdot mol{}^{-1}); R is the universal gas constant (= 1.987 cal \cdot mol{}^{-1} \cdot K{}^{-1}); B is a constant. To maintain consistence between the units used for E_{a} and R, we need to re-assign R to be 1.987\times {10}^{-3}, making its unit 1.987\times {10}^{-3} kcal \cdot mol{}^{-1} \cdot K{}^{-1} in the above formula.

\qquadAccording to the definition of the developmental rate (r), it is the developmental progress per unit time (e.g., per day, per hour), which equals the reciprocal of the developmental duration D, i.e., r = 1/D. Let T_{s} represent the standard temperature (in K), and r_{s} represent the developmental rate at T_{s}. Let r_{j} represent the developmental rate at T_{j}, an arbitrary temperature (in K). It is apparent that D_{s}r_{s} = D_{j}r_{j} = 1. It follows that

\frac{D_{s}}{D_{j}} = \frac{r_{j}}{r_{s}} = \mathrm{exp}\left[\frac{E_{a}\left(T_{j}-T_{s}\right)}{R\,T_{j}\,T_{s}}\right],

where D_{s}/D_{j} is referred to as the number of days transferred to a standardized temperature (DTS) (Konno and Sugihara, 1986; Aono, 1993).

\qquadIn the accumulated days transferred to a standardized temperature (ADTS) method, the annual accumulated days transferred to a standardized temperature (AADTS) is assumed to be a constant. Let \mathrm{AADTS}_{i} denote the AADTS of the ith year, which equals

\mathrm{AADTS}_{i} = \sum_{j=S}^{E_{i}}\left\{\mathrm{exp}\left[\frac{E_{a}\left(T_{ij}-T_{s}\right)}{R\,T_{ij}\,T_{s}}\right]\right\},

where E_{i} represents the ending date (in day-of-year), i.e., the occurrence time of a pariticular phenological event in the ith year, and T_{ij} represents the mean daily temperature of the jth day of the ith year (in K). In theory, \mathrm{AADTS}_{i} = \mathrm{AADTS}, i.e., the AADTS values of different years are a constant. However, in practice, there is a certain deviation of \mathrm{AADTS}_{i} from \mathrm{AADTS} that is estimated by \overline{\mathrm{AADTS}} (i.e., the mean of the \mathrm{AADTS}_{i} values). The following approach is used to determine the predicted occurrence time. When \sum_{j=S}^{F}\left\{\mathrm{exp}\left[\frac{E_{a}\left(T_{ij}-T_{s}\right)} {R\,T_{ij}\,T_{s}}\right]\right\} = \overline{\mathrm{AADTS}} (where F \geq S), it follows that F is the predicted occurrence time; when \sum_{j=S}^{F}\left\{\mathrm{exp}\left[ \frac{E_{a}\left(T_{ij}-T_{s}\right)}{R\,T_{ij}\,T_{s}}\right]\right\} < \overline{\mathrm{AADTS}} and \sum_{j=S}^{F+1}\left\{\mathrm{exp}\left[\frac{E_{a}\left(T_{ij}-T_{s}\right)} {R\,T_{ij}\,T_{s}}\right]\right\} > \overline{\mathrm{AADTS}}, the trapezoid method (Ring and Harris, 1983) is used to determine the predicted occurrence time.

Value

Year

the years with climate data

Time.pred

the predicted occurrence times (day-of-year) in different years

Note

The entire mean daily temperature data set for the spring of each year should be provided. It should be noted that the unit of Temp in Arguments is {}^{\circ}C, not K.
