est_bm_RCD: Estimate biomass based on root collar diameter (RCD)

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

Description

This function uses equations and parameters obtained from peer reviewed publications to estimate tree biomass based on the species and the (root collar) diameter (RCD).

Usage

  est.bm.RCD(Species, RCD, H_meas)

Arguments

Species	A species name, e.g, "Abies alba".
RCD	Root collar diameter in cm.
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.
