In pzylstra/frame_r: Fire Research and Modelling Environment

Constructs parameter files from formatted datasets

Description

Constructs parameter files from formatted datasets

Usage

paramBuilder(site, Structure, Flora, default.species.params, a)

Arguments

site	A dataframe with the six fields: record - a unique, consecutively numbered identifier per site site - a unique identifier per site slope - slope in degrees wind - velocity in km/h temp - ambient temperature deg. C dfmc - moisture content of fine dead fuels in whole numbers (eg 0.1 for 10 percent) litter - weight in t/ha of fine dead organic material forming the O horizon diameter - mean diameter of surface litter in m fline - the fireline length in m
Structure	A dataframe with the fields: record - a unique, consecutively numbered identifier per site site - a unique identifier per site NS, El, Mid & Can - the mean separation between plants (m) per stratum ns_e, ns_m, e_m, e_c, m_c - Logical field indicating whether plants in the stratum on the left grow directly beneath those in the stratum on the right. Acceptable values are t, f, or blank, where the outcome will be decided by the relative stratum heights.
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 percent ODW) stratum - numeric value from 1 to 4, counting from lowest stratum comp - Percent composition of that species in the stratum. If absent, all species will be considered equally hc, he, ht, hp & w - canopy dimensions for that species (m) clump - mean ratio of clump diameter to crown diameter openness - proportion of plant canopy occupied by gaps between clumps
default.species.params	Leaf traits database
a	The record number for which to build the table

Examples

record <- 1
data(site)
data(structure)
data(flora)
data(traits)
base.params <- paramBuilder(site, structure, flora, traits, record)
