Generating TDM output

Description

Generates relevant outputs from the sap flux density (SFD) values. This function provides both F_{d} (SFD expressed in mmol m^{-2} s^{-1}) and crown conductance values (G_{C}; an analogue to stomatal conductance) in an easily exportable format. Additionally, the function can perform environmental filtering on F_{d} and G_{C} and model G_{C} sensitivity to vapour pressure deficit (VPD). The user can choose between in- (method = "env.filt") or excluding (method = "stat") environmental filtering on the G_{C} and adjust the filter threshold manually.

Usage

out.data(
  input,
  vpd.input,
  sr.input,
  prec.input,
  peak.hours = c(10:14),
  low.sr = 150,
  peak.sr = 300,
  vpd.cutoff = 0.5,
  prec.lim = 1,
  method = "env.filt",
  max.quant = 1,
  make.plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

input

An is.trex-compliant time series from tdm_cal.sfd outputs (e.g., X$sfd.mw$sfd)

vpd.input

An is.trex-compliant object an individual series of VPD in kPa (see vpd). The extent and temporal resolution should be equal to input. Use dt.steps to correct if needed.

sr.input

An is.trex-compliant object of an individual series of solar irradiance (e.g. either PAR or global radiation; see sr). The extent and temporal resolution should be equal to input. Use dt.steps to correct if needed. This data is only needed when applying the "env.filt" method.

prec.input

An is.trex-compliant object of daily precipitation in mm d-1 (see preci). The extent should be equal to input with a daily temporal resolution. Use dt.steps to correct if needed. This data is only needed when applying the "env.filt" method.

peak.hours

Numeric vector with hours which should be considered as peak-of-the-day hours (default = c(10:14)). This variable is only needed when the "stat" method is selected.

low.sr

Numeric threshold value in the unit of the sr.input time-series (e.g., W m-2) to exclude cloudy days which impact G_{C} (default = 150 W m-2). This variable is only needed when the "env.filt" method is selected.

peak.sr

Numeric threshold value in the unit of the sr.input time-series (e.g., W m-2) to exclude hours which are not considered as peak-of-the-day hours (default = 300 W m-2). This variable is only needed when the "env.filt" method is selected.

vpd.cutoff

Numeric threshold value in kPa for peak-of-the-day mean VPD to eliminate unrealistic and extremely high values of G_{C} due to low VPD values or high values of G_{C} (default = 0.5 kPa).

prec.lim

Numeric threshold value in mm d-1 for daily precipitation to remove rainy days (default = 1 mm d-1). This variable is only needed when "env.filt" method is selected.

method

Character string indicating whether precipitation and solar irradiance data should be used to determined peak-of-the-day G_{C} values and filter the daily G_{C} values ("env.filt") or not ("stat"; default). When "env.filt" is selected, input, vpd.input, sr.input, prec.input, peak.sr, low.sr, vpd.cutoff and prec.lim have to be provided. When "stat" is selected only input, vpd.input and peak.hours.

max.quant

Numeric, defining the quantile of the G_{C} data which should be considered as GC.max (default = 1).

make.plot

Logical; if TRUE, a plot is generated presenting the response of G_{C} to VPD.

Details

Various relevant outputs can be derived from the SFD data. This function provides the option to recalculate SFD to F_{d} (expressed in mmol m-2 s-1) and crown conductance (according to Pappas et al. 2018). G_{C} is estimated per unit sapwood area, where G_{C} = F_{d} / VPD (in kPa), assuming that i) the stem hydraulic capacitance between the height of sensor and the leaves is negligible, and ii) that the canopy is well coupled to the atmosphere. In order to reduce the effect of stem hydraulic capacitance, peak-of-the-day G_{C} are solely considered for calculating daily average G_{C}. Peak-of-the-day conditions are defined by peak.hours or peak.sr. Moreover, to analyse the relationship between G_{C} and environmental measurements (e.g., VPD), the daily mean peak-of-the-day G_{C} values can be restricted to: i) non-cloudy days (see low.sr), to reduce the impact of low irradiance on G_{C}, ii) non-rainy days (see prec.lim), as wet leaves are not well coupled to the atmosphere, and iii) daily mean peak-of-the-day G_{C} great then a threshold (see vpd.cutoff), to eliminate unrealistically high G_{C} values due to low F_{d} or VPD values (when method = "env.filt"). Moreover, the sensitivity of the daily mean peak-of-the-day G_{C} to VPD is modelled by fitting the following model:

G_{C} = \alpha + \beta VPD^{-0.5}

Besides using the raw daily mean peak-of-the-day G_{C} values, the function also applies a normalization where daily mean peak-of-the-day G_{C} is standardized to the maximum conductance (GC.max; see max.quant).
