model.lange.customize: Customize the Lange model

Description

This page describes the parameters that can be used to customize Lange. The model was developed by Lange2008;textualbarrks. Look here to find out how to apply the model.

Arguments

dd_onset_start_date

The date, when the degree days start to sum up ('MM-DD').

dd_onset_base

Base temperature to calculate degree days to trigger the onset.

dd_onset_threshold

Degree days that are required to trigger the onset of infestation. Additionally, the maximum temperature must exceed tfly.

tfly

Minimum temperature that beetles need to fly.

dd_base_stages

Base temperatures to calculate degree days for the different stages in the following order: egg, larva, pupa, juvenile adult.

dd_threshold_stages

Thermal thresholds for the different stages in the following order: egg, larva, pupa, juvenile adult.

model_end_date

Date when the model ends (no further development will be modeled).

first_lethal_date

Date before which no mortality will be modeled.

tlethal

Temperature threshold below which white stages (egg, larva, pupa) will die.

Details

In barrks, model() is used to customize a model. The following code illustrates which parameters are available for the Lange model and specifies their default values.

model("lange",

# ==== onset ==== #

dd_onset_start_date = '01-01', dd_onset_base = 5, dd_onset_threshold = 110,

# ==== onset + development ====

tfly = 19.5,

# ==== development ==== #

dd_base_stages = c(10.6, 8.2, 9.9, 3.2), dd_threshold_stages = c(51.8, 204.4, 57.7, 238.5),

model_end_date = '12-31',

# ==== mortality ==== #

first_lethal_date = '09-01', tlethal = 0 )
