In pzylstra/frame_r: Fire Research and Modelling Environment

Creates a dataset of plants with expected size and cover randomly varied within natural ranges

Description

Creates a dataset of plants with expected size and cover randomly varied within natural ranges

Usage

pseudoTransect(
  Dynamics,
  pointRich,
  default.species.params,
  perspective = FALSE,
  pnts = 10,
  Age = 10,
  growth = TRUE,
  thin = TRUE,
  prune = TRUE
)

Arguments

Dynamics	Table of growth models as output by floraDynamics
pointRich	table of species richness likelihood for a point as output by function rich
default.species.params	Plant traits database
perspective	Use FALSE for vertical to calculate LAI, otherwise TRUE
pnts	number of points in the transect
Age	Age of the site in years
growth	Logical - TRUE uses plant growth models in Dynamics, otherwise mean values are used and plants are not grown
thin	Logical - TRUE uses plant self-thinning models in Dynamics, otherwise mean values are used and plant cover remains constant
prune	Logical - TRUE uses plant self-pruning models in Dynamics, otherwise plants are not self-pruned and lower canopy heights remain at their lowest points

Value
