VRIVolTree: Calcualte tree volume-VRI specific

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

View source: R/VRIVolTree.R

Description

This function use BEC(or FIZ) and species-specific taper equation to calculate tree volume. Before calculation, the function adjusts height for broken top trees: scenario 1 (D scenario): availability of DBH, DIB at broken height; scenario 2 (H scenario): availability of projected tree height in the field. This functions also assigns the volume multiplier adjustment. The function is equivalent to vir_vol_tree_2011 macro in orignal SAS compiler.

VRIVolTree(treeData, equation, logMinLength, stumpHeight, breastHeight,
  UTOPDIB)

Arguments

treeData

data.table, An output from VRIInit_measuredTree function, i.e., vi_c data.

equation

character, Specifies which taper equation form will be used to calculate diameter inside bark for a given height. Must be either KBEC or KFIZ3. If missing, default is KBEC

logMinLength

numeric, Specifies a minimum length for a log.

stumpHeight

numeric, Specifies stump height. If missing, 0.3 m will be used.

breastHeight

numeric, Specifies breast height. 1.3 m will be used when this arguement is missing.

UTOPDIB

numeric, Specifies minimum merchantable inside bark diameter. 10 cm is used as a default.

Value

A data table
