In mbask/treecm: Centre of Mass Assessment and Consolidation of Trees

Description

Returns the fresh biomass of a stone pine branch in kg given the diameter, using an allometric equation

Usage

allometryAsca2011(x, diameter)

Arguments

x	a data frame holding diameters of branches
diameter	the name of the column holding diameter of the x data frame, diameters should be in cm

Value

the fresh biomass of the branch of a stone pine (in kg)

Note

The allometric equation has been validated for 8-16 cm diameter branches.

The allometric equation takes the form of a power equation
