createcanopy: Create the canopy

In thomasgaquiere/Maria: Simulate Different Forms of Logging on a Forest

Description

Create a vertical projection of the the crown of each tree

Usage

createcanopy(inventory)

Arguments

inventory

Input inventory containing the crown diameter (CrownDiameter, in m) (calculable with the addtreedim function) of each tree (data.frame)(see the inputs formats and metadata in the vignette)

Value

A dataframe with a column 'Crowns' containing the circles (sfc_POLYGON) as trees crown, with their diameter filled in, representing trees from the sky.

Examples

data(Paracou6_2016)
Paracou6_2016 <- dplyr::slice(Paracou6_2016, 1:10) # inventory reduction

inventory <- addtreedim(inventorycheckformat(Paracou6_2016),
volumeparameters = ForestZoneVolumeParametersTable)

inventory <- createcanopy(inventory)

# The small ones first so that they are plotted below the big ones
inventory <- dplyr::arrange(inventory, TreeHeight)

library(ggplot2)
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = getgeometry(inventory, Crowns),
          aes(alpha = TreeHeight),
          fill = "forestgreen") +
          labs(alpha = "Tree height")
