SummaryAGB: Function to summarise AGB by Plot and Census Dates.

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

Description

This function produces a summary of AGB by PlotViewID and Census No. AGB is estimated using a specified equation. The input dataset should include tree diameter, wood density and the region used for defining the coefficients for estimating tree height.

Usage

SummaryAGB(xdataset, AGBEquation, dbh = "D4")

Arguments

xdataset	a dataset with diameter (use mergefp)
AGBEquation	the AGB equation used to produce the summary
dbh	a diameter (in mm) to estimate biomass
