Description

Finds the height of near-surface litter

Usage

susp(
  default.species.params,
  density = 300,
  cover = 0.8,
  age = 10,
  aQ = NA,
  bQ = NA,
  cQ = NA,
  maxNS = NA,
  rateNS = NA,
  dec = TRUE
)

Arguments

`default.species.params`	Plant traits database
`density`	Wood density (kg.m-3)
`cover`	Percent cover of suspended layer
`age`	Years since last fire
`aQ`	Parameter for a quadratic trend; leave as NA if trend is negative exponential
`bQ`	Parameter for a quadratic trend; leave as NA if trend is negative exponential
`cQ`	Parameter for a quadratic trend; leave as NA if trend is negative exponential
`maxNS`	Asymptote for negative exponential increase in NS
`rateNS`	Rate for negative exponential increase in NS
`dec`	Logical - TRUE allows for quadratic model to decline as vegetation thins,
`wNS`	Width of NS patches (m)
