SummaryAGWP: SummaryAGWP

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

Description

Function to estimate AGWP by plotview and census interval, including estimating unobserved recruitment and growth of trees that died between census periods

Usage

SummaryAGWP(xdataset, AGBEquation, dbh = "D4", rec.meth = 0,
  height.data = NULL, param.type = "Best", palm.eq = TRUE)

Arguments

xdataset	Object returned by mergefp.
AGBEquation	Allometric equation function to use when estimating AGB.Note only AGBChv14 and AGBChv05MH are fully implemented, other Chave 2005 equations can by used for observed components by unobserved components will use AGBChv05MH. Plan to implement other equations fully in future.
dbh	Name of column containing diameter data. Default is "D4".
rec.meth	Method used to estimate AGWP of recruits. If 0 (default), estimates growth from starting diameter of 0mm. If another value is provided, then growth is estimated from a starting diameter of 100mm.
height.data	Object returned by local.heights. Used to supply parameters of local allometric equations. If NULL (default), regional height diameter equations are used.
param.type	Local height diameter to use. One of "Best" (defualt), "ClusterF","BioRF" or "ContinentF". Ignored if height.data=NULL.
palm.eq	Logical. If TRUE the family level diameter based equation from Goodman et al 2013 is used to estimate AGB of monocots. Otherwise AGB of monocots is estimated using the allometric equation supplied to AGBEquation.

Value

A data frame with PlotViewID, CensusNo, and observed and unobserved elements of AGWP, stem dynamics and AGB mortality.
