Description

Prepares the management table and checks for consistency.

Usage

prepare_thinning(thinning = NULL, sp_names = c("Fagus sylvatica",
  "Pinus sylvestris"))

Value

a 3-dimentional array, where third dimention correspond to each species.

Arguments

thinning

table containing the information about thinnings. If there is no thinning, it must be NULL. The following columns are required:

• species: species or cohort id/name.

• age: age at which thinning is done.

In case there is no thinning it will return empty 3-d array.

In case there will be thinning it will return 3-d array, where one dimension correspond to each species.
