Default model parameters

Description

Returns a list with the Quebec Landscape Dynamic Model parameters and the default values

Usage

default.params()

Value

A list with the following items:

• species: Vector with the name of the tree species (sorted as codified in the landscape data frame)

• spp.distrib.rad: Radius of the neighborhood (in pixels) to find out if a species is present in a region

• colon.rad: Radius of the neighborhood (in pixels) to look for mature tree species ready to colonize shrubs or locations killed by drought

• rpb: Spread rate

• pb.upper.th: If spread rate is above this threshold, the cell always burns

• pb.lower.th: If spread rate is below this threshold, the cell never burns

• fire.intens.th: high vs. low intensity fire, sr <= fire.intens.th

• pb.target.area: if NA, then burnt as 7*pb.convenient.area, otherwise annually burnt pb.fix.area

• pb.convenient.area

• accum.burnt.area

• pb.mean

• pb.sd: Standard deviation of Normal distribution to drawn prescribed burn sizes

• pb.fage.th: Minimum forest age to apply prescribed burns, in years

Examples

# Change the convenient area to be burnt by prescribed burns to 15.000 ha 
params = default.params()
params$pb.convenient.area = 15000
