Creates a forest object from Spanish Forest Inventory (SFI) data (DGCN 2005).
extractSFIforest(SFItreeData, SFIshrubData, ID, SpParams,  
                 SFIherbData = NULL, SFIcodes=NULL, 
                 patchsize= 10000, setDefaults=TRUE)
translateSpeciesCodes(x, SFIcodes)A data frame with measured tree data.
A data frame with measured shrub data.
A string with the ID of the plot to be extracted.
A data frame with species parameters (see details).
A string vector (of length equal to the number of rows in SpParams of the SFI species codes that correspond to the model species codification. Each string may contain different coma-separated codes in order to merge SFI species into a single model species.
A data frame with cover and mean height of the herb layer.
The area of the forest stand, in square meters.
Initializes default values for missing fields in SFI data.
