est_bm: Estimate biomass based on available proxy data

In ManuelPopp/BiomassEST: Estimation of tree biomass based on proxy parameters, following equations derived from peer-reviewed papers

Description

Wrapper function that runs est.bm.RCD(), est.bm.H(), or est.bm.RDC2H() based on the input arguments.

Usage

  est.bm(Species, RCD = NA, BHD = NA, H = NA, use = NA, H_meas = NA)

Arguments

Species	A species name, e.g, "Abies alba".
RCD	Root collar diameter in cm.
BHD	Diameter at breast height in cm.
H	Height of the tree in cm.
use	Either NA, "RCD", or "H". If RCD or H is specified, the respective function is executed independently of the availability of other input data that would allow the use of the RCD2H.
H_meas	Height of the measurement in cm; transformations are available for 5, 10, 50, and 130 cm.

Value

Returns estimated tree biomass in g as a numeric value.

Examples

  est.bm(Species = "Abies alba", RCD = 15, H_meas = 10)
  est.bm(Species = "Abies alba", RCD = 15, H = 3.2, H_meas = 10)
