data.prep: CTFS-formated data preparation

In ervanSTRI/AGBflux_pack: Set of functions to format, correct and compute AGB fluxes from CTFS-formated data.

Description

Main routine to format and correct CTFS-formated data

Usage

data.prep(site, stem, taper.correction, fill.missing, palm, strangler,
  maxrel = 20, draw.graph, output.errors, DATA_path,
  exclude.interval = NULL)

Arguments

site	provide the full name of your site (in lower case) i.e. 'barro colorado island'
stem	TRUE or FALSE, are you using the stem data (stem=TRUE) or tree data (i.e. called 'full')?
taper.correction	TRUE or FALSE, are you willing to apply Cushman et al (2014) taper correction?
fill.missing	TRUE or FALSE, are you willing to extrapolate missing DBH from surrounding DBH?
palm	TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, biomass of palm trees is computed through a specific allometric model (Goodman et al. 2013)
strangler	TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, strangler figs tree are flagged (upon a list to published soon)
maxrel	a numeric value setting the threshold over which relative productivity is assumed to be too high (usually set at 20 percents)
draw.graph	TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, draw graph for trees with 'erroneous' DBH measures/productivity
output.errors	TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, creat a CSV file with all trees with erroneous DBH measures/productivity
DATA_path	allows to provide a different path where the data are located
exclude.interval	NULL by default. If needed a vector (e.g. c(1,2)) indicating which census interval(s) must be discarded from computation due, for instance, to a change in protocol of measurment

Value

a data.table (data.frame) with all relevant variables.
