kill: LINKAGES kill function

In araiho/linkages_package: A Linked Forest Productivity - Soil Process Model

Description

KILL KILLS TREES BY AGE DEPENDENT MORTALITY (ONLY 1 REACH MAXIMUM AGE) AND AGE INDEPENDENT MORTALITY (PROBABILITY OF SURVIVING 10 CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF SLOW GROWTH (SEE GROW) = 1 DECISIONS ON WHETHER OR NOT TO KILL A TREE ARE PARTLY BASED ON RANDOM NUMBERS SUPPLIED BY rand. KILL ALSO CALCULATES LITTER AMOUNTS, WHICH ARE DECAYED IN SUBROUTINE DECOMP.

Usage

kill(nspec, ntrees, slta, sltb, dbh, agemx, ksprt, sprtmn, sprtmx, iage, nogro,
  tl, rtst, fwt, max.ind, frt)

Arguments

nspec	number of species
ntrees	number of trees of each species
slta	parameter to calculate crown area from diameter
sltb	parameter to calculate crown area from diameter
dbh	diameter of each individual
agemx	max age
ksprt	flags if stump can sprout
sprtmn	minimum diameter for a stump to sprout
sprtmx	maximum diameter for a stump to sprout
iage	age of each individual
nogro	flags slow growing individuals
tl	leaf litter quality class
rtst	root-shoot ratio for each species
fwt	leaf weight per unit crown area
max.ind	maximum number of individuals
frt	foliage retention time
ncohrt	number of cohorts

Value

dbh diameter of each individual

ntrees number of trees of each species

iage age of each individual

nogro flags individuals growing slowly

ncohrt number of cohorts

tyl total yearly litter,

ksprt flags stumps that could sprout
