Estimate canopy clumpiness

Description

The function 'clumpestimate' estimates how clumpy a canopy is based on height and plant area index

Usage

clumpestimate(hgt, leafd, pai, maxclump = 0.95)

Arguments

hgt

a single layer SpatRaster of vegetation heights (m).

leafd

a single layer SpatRaster of mean leaf widths (m).

pai

a single or multi-layer SpatRaster of plant area index value(s).

maxclump

optional parameter indicating maximum clumpiness

Value

'clump' a SpatRaster indicating the fraction of radiation passing directly through larger gaps in the canopy. Matches the dimensions of 'pai'.
