Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References Examples

It simulates plot level growth, mortality (and recruitment) of a given stand requiring stand-level parameters coming from core_module. Simulations are done using stand-level models starting from intial age (AD0) until final age (ADF) in increments of 1 year. Note that recruitment is currently not considered.

core.stand

An object originated from core_module

A series of elements and parameters with updated tables. Outputs are the same as input_module but these are updated for simulations. The main table is sp.table that contains a stand table for the new simulations for the given parameters. Also, all other information is updated for time AF.
