AGBChv14: Allometric equations

In ForestPlots/BiomasaFP: BiomasaFP: Functions for analysing data downloaded from ForestPlots.net

Allometric equations

Description

Functions to estimate biomass from diameter, height and wood density. If specifying a new function please include all these parameters, even if they are not used (as other functions will pass all these arguments to the function)

Usage

AGBChv14(d, h, wd)

BA(d, h, wd)

wdBA(d, h, wd)

AGBChv05M(d, h, wd)

TiepoloTreeFern(d, h, wd)

GoodmanPalm(d, h, wd)

Arguments

d	numeric vector giving tree diameter (DBH) in cm
h	numeric vector giving tree height (m)
wd	numeric vector giving wood density in g/m^3

Functions
