Functions to calculate stand attributes of a forest object.
stand_basalArea(x, minDBH = 7.5)
stand_dominantTreeHeight(x, minDBH = 7.5)
stand_dominantTreeDiameter(x, minDBH = 7.5)
stand_quadraticMeanTreeDiameter(x, minDBH = 7.5)
stand_hartBeckingIndex(x, minDBH = 7.5)
stand_foliarBiomass(x, SpParams, gdd = NA, mode = "MED")
stand_fuel(x, SpParams, gdd = NA, includeDead = TRUE, mode = "MED")
stand_LAI(x, SpParams, gdd = NA, mode = "MED")
stand_phytovolume(x, SpParams)stand_basalArea: Stand basal area (m2/ha).
stand_dominantTreeDiameter: Dominant tree diameter, i.e the average diameter of the 100 widest trees (in cm).
stand_quadraticMeanTreeDiameter: Quadratic mean tree diameter, i.e. the diameter value corresponding to the current basal area and density.
stand_dominantTreeHeight: Dominant tree height, i.e the average height of the 100 tallest trees (in cm).
stand_hartBeckingIndex: Hart becking index.
stand_foliarBiomass: Standing biomass of leaves (in kg/m2).
stand_fuel: Stand fine fuel load (in kg/m2).
stand_LAI: Stand leaf area index (m2/m2).
stand_phytovolume: Stand shrub phytovolume (m3/m2).
An object of class forest.
Minimum diameter at breast height (in cm) to include in estimation.
A data frame with species parameters (see SpParamsMED).
Growth degree days (to account for leaf phenology effects).
A flag to indicate that standing dead fuels (dead branches) are included.
Calculation mode, either "MED" or "US".
