est_3d: Estimate 3d surface area of a coral colony,

In fawda123/coral_bcg: Quantitative Rules for the Coral Biological Condition Gradient

Description

Estimate 3d surface area of a coral colony,

Usage

est_3d(spp, h, d1, d2 = d1)

Arguments

spp	chr string of coral species to estimate
h	numeric of colony height (cm)
d1	numeric of colony diameter (cm), diameter of major axis if ellipse
d2	numeric of colony diameter (dm), diameter of minor axis if ellipse

Details

If both d1 and d2 are provided, they are converted to a single value for the diameter of a circle with the same area as the ellipse

NA values will be all values that do not match species in conv, juveniles marked as -1

Uses size conversion equations from appendix J

Value

Vector of values with estimated surface area as cm2 for each species, -1 is juvenile

Examples

with(crl_dem, est_3d(species_name, Height, MaxDiam, PerpDiam))
