View source: R/ed_allometry.R

Description

Calculate wood area index (WAI) given DBH

Usage

1
wai_allometry(dbh, nplant, b1, b2)

Arguments

dbh

Cohort diameter at breast height

nplant

Stem density (stems m-2)

b1

Allometry equation base

b2

Allometry equation exponent

Details

Two possibilities here, depending on 'iallom'. The default value is: 'WAI = nplant * b1 * DBH ^ b2

An alternative formulation is that it is always 11 0.11 * LAI‘. But we don’t use that here because it's trivial.

Value

Wood area index
