In EcoFoG/ForestData: Post-inventory processing of Forest Census datasets

Description

Title

Usage

compute_rates(
  data,
  status_col = "status_corr",
  time_col = ifelse(is.null(getOption("time_col")), "CensusYear",
    getOption("time_col")),
  id_col = ifelse(is.null(getOption("id_col")), "idTree", getOption("id_col")),
  dead_confirmation_censuses = 2,
  byplot = TRUE,
  plot_col = ifelse(is.null(getOption("plot_col")), "Plot", getOption("plot_col")),
  corrected = TRUE
)

Arguments

data	data.frame, containing forest inventories in the form of a long-format time series - one line corresponds to a measurement for one individual at a given census time.
status_col	character, name of the column corresponding to tree status: 0/FALSE for dead, 1/TRUE for alive.
time_col	character, name of the column containing census years.
id_col	character, name of the column containing trees unique IDs.
dead_confirmation_censuses	integer, defaults to 2: number of consecutive censuses for which a tree is unseen that are needed to consider the tree as dead. NB: for the trees unseen during the dead_confirmation_censuses -1 last inventories, the status cannot be corrected, thus mortality rates should not be calculated for these censuses.
byplot	logical, indicating whether the function has to process the data by plot (TRUE)or for the whole dataset (FALSE).
plot_col	character, name of the column containing plot indices or names.
corrected	Logical, indicates whether the dataset has been corrected (for tree status errors) beforehand. If TRUE, triggers correct_alive, defaults to TRUE.

Value

a data.frame that contains recruitment and mortality rates, in the same format as the outputs of compute_mortality and compute_recruitment

Examples

data(example_status_corr)
suppressWarnings(
compute_rates(example_status_corr))
