Arguments

base.params

Parameter input table

a

The number of the record to be modelled

suspNS

Name of the fuel in the suspended layer

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

growth

A dataframe with the six fields: species - Name of the species consistent with other tables max - Maximum plant height (m) rate - A constant describing the rate of growth for a Chapman Richards function aQ - First constant in a quadratic equation bQ - Second constant in a quadratic equation cQ - Third constant in a quadratic equation aLin - First constant in a linear equation bLin - Second constant in a linear equation Function prioritises growth equations from left to right

default.species.params

Leaf traits database

age

The number of years since last fire

density

Wood density (kg/m3)
