Calculate biomass of tree according to Petersson (1999)

Description

Forests at high altitudes and close to coast are not represented.

Usage

Petersson_1999_biomass(
  species,
  diameter.cm,
  height.m,
  age_at_breast_height,
  SI,
  dominant_species,
  five_years_radial_increment.mm,
  peat,
  latitude,
  longitude,
  epsg_in = 4326,
  altitude
)

Arguments

species	One of "Picea abies","Pinus sylvestris","Betula pendula" or "Betula pubescens".
diameter.cm	Diameter at breast height, in cm.
height.m	Height of tree, in metres.
age_at_breast_height	Age at breast height.
SI	Site index of dominating tree species according to Hägglund & Lundmark (1977).
dominant_species	For which the SI was calculated. "Picea abies" or "Pinus sylvestris".
five_years_radial_increment.mm	five years radial increment, in mm.
peat	TRUE if soil type is peat, otherwise FALSE. Soil type is peat if the tree plot is more than 30 cm deep peat.
latitude	latitude
longitude	longitude
epsg_in	EPSG of Latitude and Longitude, default=4326.
altitude	Metres above sea level.

Value

List of weights, in g.
