fireDynamics: Models flammability dynamics from a weather set
In pzylstra/Impact: Fire impact functions for FRaME

Grows the plant community, modelling fire behaviour against a weather dataset for every age, then summarising all behaviour into risk and impact statistics. Allows trees an older age than understorey to represent lower severity fire histories

`base.params`	Parameter input table
`weather`	A dataframe with the four fields: tm - Sequential numbering of the records T - Air temperature (deg C) W - Wind velocity (km/h) DFMC - Dead fuel moisture content (proportion ODW)
`growth`	A dataframe with the six fields: species - Name of the species consistent with other tables max - Maximum plant height (m)
`cover`	A dataframe with the fields: species - Name of the species consistent with other tables constant - Mean plant separation (m) that does not change with age exp_a - The first constant in an exponential function describing plant separation with tsf exp_b - The second constant in an exponential function describing plant separation with tsf
`Flora`	A dataframe with the fields: record - a unique, consecutively numbered identifier per site species - the name of the species, which will call trait data from 'default.species.params' moisture - the moisture content of the species in whole numbers (eg 1 for 100 stratum - numeric value from 1 to 4, counting from lowest stratum comp - base, he, ht, top & w - canopy dimensions for that species (m). he and ht are optional clump - mean ratio of clump diameter to crown diameter openness - ratio of gap to clump size
`jitters`	Number of repetitions for each row in the weather table
`ageStep`	The number of years between age classes to be examined
`firstAge`	The youngest age class to be examined
`steps`	The number of age classes to be examined after firstAge
`tAge`	The age of trees at the commencement of the run
`l`	Variation around input leaf dimensions
`default.species.params`	Leaf traits database
`Ms`	Standard deviation of LFMC
`Pm`	Multiplier of mean LFMC
`Mr`	Truncates LFMC variability by +/- Pm * LFMC
`Hs`	Standard deviation of plant height variations
`Hr`	Truncates plant height variability by +/- Hr * height
`a`	The number of the record to be modelled
`suspNS`	Name of the fuel in the suspended layer
`density`	density of the wood in the suspended layer (kg/m3)
`test`	An isotherm for which the height will be reported
`hKill`	The percentage of tree canopy above which a risk boundary is crossed (0 - 100)
`updateProgress`	Progress bar for use in the dashboard
