PHFCalculator: Calculate tree per ha factor for both fix and variable area...

In bcgov/BCForestGroundSample: BC forest ground sample compilation

Description

Calculates tree per ha factor for both fix and variable area plots.

Usage

PHFCalculator(sampleType, blowUp, treeWeight, plotWeight, treeBasalArea)


  ## S4 method for signature 'character,numeric,numeric,numeric,numeric'
PHFCalculator(sampleType,
  blowUp, treeWeight, plotWeight, treeBasalArea)


  ## S4 method for signature 'character,numeric,numeric,numeric,missing'
PHFCalculator(sampleType,
  blowUp, treeWeight, plotWeight)

Arguments

sampleType	character, Specifies how the plot is sampled among fixed area plot or variable area plot, must be either V for variable area plot or F for fixed area plot.
blowUp	numeric, Specifies the blowup factor. For fixed area plot, it is calculated as 1/plotarea. For variable area plot, it is basal area factor (BAF).
treeWeight	numeric, Specifies whether a tree is zero counted (tree is out), one time counted (regular count) or two times counted (double counted) in the walk through sampling protocal.
plotWeight	numeric, Specifies how a plot is measured, i.e., full plot measured (valued as 1), half plot measured (valued as 2) or quarter plot measured (valued as 4).
treeBasalArea	numeric, When plot is measured using variable area plot, this value must be given, otherwise, can be missing

Value

Tree per ha factor
