Description

Find approximately reasonable default values for tree size parameters

Usage

1
solve_tree(dbh = NA, height = NA, crown_radius = NA, region = "nw")

Arguments

dbh

Diameter at breast height, in meters.

height

Bole height, in meters.

crown_radius

Crown radius, in meters.

region

Currently ignored. Exists to allow future expansion of parameters, to let functions more realistically scale trees for a given region.

Value

A named list with default values for dbh, height, and crown_radius.
