gp.dbh: Ponderosa Pine Stem Diameters and Bark Thickness Corresponding to gp.rwl

Description

This dataset gives the diameter at breast height for each series that matches the series in gp.rwl - a dataset of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) from the Gus Pearson Natural Area (GPNA) in northern Arizona, USA. Data are further described by Biondi and Qeadan (2008) and references therein.

Usage

gp.dbh

Arguments

format

A data.frame containing series ids in column 1 (series), tree diameter (in cm) at breast height (dbh), and the bark thickness (in cm). This can be used together with the ring widths to calculate the area of each ring.
