AGBChv05D: Function to estimate biomass of individual tree records for...

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

Description

Estimates individual biomass using the Chave equation (2005) without height for Dry forests. The function adds columns with the biomass information for all alive trees. This function needs a dataset with the following information: PlotViewID, PlotID, TreeID, CensusNo, Diameter (DBH1-DBH4), Wood density (WD).The function assumes that the diameter used is DBH4, unless other DBH is selected. See ForestPlots.net documentation for more information.

Usage

AGBChv05D(xdataset, dbh = "D4", height.data = NULL, param.type = NULL)

Arguments

xdataset	a dataset for estimating biomass
dbh	a diameter (in mm).
