critical_moment_breakage(dbh, ht, cr_depth, mor, fknot)

critical_moment_overturning(c_reg, stem_density, stem_vol)

Arguments

dbh

Diameter of the stem at breast height, i.e. 1.3m above the ground (cm). Depending on the method used ('roughness' or 'TMC') this can be either the arithmetic average of the dbh of all the trees in the stand, or the dbh of an individual tree.

ht

Tree height. Depending on the method used ('roughness' or 'TMC'), this can be either the mean tree in the stand, or each individual tree (m).

cr_depth

Length of the tree crown (m).

mor

Modulus of Rupture of green wood (MPa).

fknot

Knot factor (dimensionless).

c_reg

Regression coefficient of uprooting moment against stem weight (N m kg-1).

stem_density

Density of green wood of the stem (kg m-3).

stem_vol

Volume of the tree stem of the mean tree in the stand (m3). For the roughness method, this is stem volume of the mean tree. For the TMC method, this is individual tree stem voume.
