edge_gap_factor_fun: Edge Gap Factor.

In tom-locatelli/fgr: R Version of the ForestGALES wind risk model

Description

Combined effect of gap size and edge effect on maximum bending moment for the single-tree method.

Usage

edge_gap_factor_fun(
  spacing,
  equivalent_mean_ht,
  dist_edge,
  gap_size,
  fgr_constants
)

Arguments

spacing	Mean distance between trees (m).
equivalent_mean_ht	Equivalent mean stand height: the level in the stand responsible for most of the momentum absorption (m).
dist_edge	Distance of tree from the upwind edge (m).
gap_size	Length of the upwind gap (m).

Value

edge_gap_factor, the combined effect of edge and gap on the maximum bending moment exerted by the wind on a tree. Used in the tmc method.
