Value Estimate

Description

This function estimates the Sawlog and Pulp values of each sample tree based on the estimated sawlog BF and pulp volume. Value estimates are based on Average Maine 2019 Statewide stumpage prices.

Usage

ValueEstimate(Stand, Plot, Tree, SPP, BoardFeet, PulpVol)

Arguments

Stand	Stand ID for Plot where the nth tree is located.
Plot	Plot ID for Plot where the nth tree is located.
Tree	The ID for the tree.
SPP	Tree Species using FVS SPP codes.
BoardFeet	Etimated Sawlog Boardfeet for the tree.
PulpVol	The estimated volume as pulp in cubic meters

Details

Each tree is given a value based on the average price paid per MBF or ib for pulp. If no value is reported either in the statewide report the product will be deemed non-commercial and given a value of $0.

It is recommended that Stand and Plot be factors and each plot must have a unique ID and not be a recycled number (see details section of the HeightPredict function).

Value

Returns a list of Sawlog and Pulp values for each sample tree.
