floraDynamics: Builds the plant growth table used in dynamic modelling

In pzylstra/frame_r: Fire Research and Modelling Environment

Builds the plant growth table used in dynamic modelling

Description

Models plant growth from field data in a series of models, selecting the best model and providing error statistics.

Usage

floraDynamics(
  dat,
  thres = 5,
  pnts = 10,
  p = 0.01,
  bTest = 2,
  cTest = 10,
  maxiter = 1000,
  Sr = 0,
  Sk = 0,
  Sa = 0,
  Sb = 0,
  Sc = 0,
  NSr = 0,
  NSk = 0,
  NSa = 0,
  NSb = 0,
  NSc = 0
)

Arguments

dat	The dataframe containing the input data,
thres	The minimum percent cover (0-100) of a Species that will be analysed
pnts	The number of points measured in a transect
p	The maximum allowable p value for a model
bTest
cTest
maxiter	The maximum number of iterations for model fitting
Sr	Rate of increase for surface litter in a negative exponential curve
Sk	Asymptote for surface litter in a negative exponential curve
Sa
Sb
Sc
NSr	Rate of increase for NS fuels in a negative exponential curve
NSk	Asymptote for NS fuels in a negative exponential curve
NSa
NSb
NSc

Details

Input table requires the following fields: Point - numbered point in a transect Species - name of the surveyed Species Age - age of the site since the triggering disturbance

Species that are less common than the set threshold are combined as "Minor Species"

Value

dataframe
