treeTotalBiomass: Returns the total biomass of the tree

In treecm: Centre of Mass Assessment and Consolidation of Trees

Description

This is just a helper function, it sums the biomass of all logs and branches, as previously computed by treeBiomass

Usage

treeTotalBiomass(treeData)

Arguments

treeData

A named list that includes a fieldData data frame element, holding a biomass-named column. Note that the biomass column is added to the data frame by a previous call to treeBiomass function

Value

a real number or FALSE if the biomass column is NA

Note

This function may be used to compute the moment of the tree. Tree biomass (multiplied by standard gravity) is the tree force applied to its CM.
