ForestDynamics.RmdAbout this vignette
This document describes how to run the forest dynamics model of
medfate, described in De Cáceres et al. (2023) and
implemented in function fordyn(). This document is meant to
teach users to run the simulation model with function
fordyn(). Details of the model design and formulation can
be found at the corresponding chapters of the medfate
book.
Because the model builds on the growth and water balance models, the
reader is assumed here to be familiarized with spwb() and
growth() (otherwise read vignettes Basic
water balance and Forest
growth).
Preparing model inputs
Any forest dynamics model needs information on climate, vegetation
and soils of the forest stand to be simulated. Moreover, since models in
medfate differentiate between species, information on
species-specific model parameters is also needed. In this subsection we
explain the different steps to prepare the data needed to run function
fordyn().
Model inputs are explained in greater detail in vignettes Understanding
model inputs and Preparing
model inputs. Here we only review the different steps required
to run function fordyn().
Soil, vegetation, meteorology and species data
Soil information needs to be entered as a data frame
with soil layers in rows and physical attributes in columns. Soil
physical attributes can be initialized to default values, for a given
number of layers, using function defaultSoilParams():
examplesoil <- defaultSoilParams(4)
examplesoil## widths clay sand om nitrogen ph bd rfc
## 1 300 25 25 NA NA NA 1.5 25
## 2 700 25 25 NA NA NA 1.5 45
## 3 1000 25 25 NA NA NA 1.5 75
## 4 2000 25 25 NA NA NA 1.5 95
As explained in the package overview, models included in
medfate were primarily designed to be ran on forest
inventory plots. Here we use the example object provided with
the package:
data(exampleforest)
exampleforest## $treeData
## Species DBH Height N Z50 Z95
## 1 Pinus halepensis 37.55 800 168 100 300
## 2 Quercus ilex 14.60 660 384 300 1000
##
## $shrubData
## Species Height Cover Z50 Z95
## 1 Quercus coccifera 80 3.75 200 1000
##
## attr(,"class")
## [1] "forest" "list"
We can keep track of cohort age if we define a column called
Age in tree or shrub data, for example let us assume we
know the age of the two tree cohorts:
exampleforest$treeData$Age <- c(40, 24)Importantly, a data frame with daily weather for the period to be simulated is required. Here we use the default data frame included with the package:
## dates MinTemperature MaxTemperature Precipitation MinRelativeHumidity

Finally, simulations in medfate require a data frame
with species parameter values, which we load using defaults for
Catalonia (NE Spain):
data("SpParamsMED")Simulation control
Apart from data inputs, the behaviour of simulation models can be
controlled using a set of global parameters. The default
parameterization is obtained using function
defaultControl():
control <- defaultControl("Granier")Here we will run simulations of forest dynamics using the basic water
balance model (i.e. transpirationMode = "Granier"). The
complexity of the soil water balance calculations can be changed by
using "Sperry" as input to defaultControl().
However, when running fordyn() sub-daily output will never
be stored (i.e. setting subdailyResults = TRUE is
useless).
Executing the forest dynamics model
In this vignette we will fake a ten-year weather input by repeating the example weather data frame ten times.
meteo <- rbind(examplemeteo, examplemeteo, examplemeteo, examplemeteo,
examplemeteo, examplemeteo, examplemeteo, examplemeteo,
examplemeteo, examplemeteo)
meteo$dates <- as.character(seq(as.Date("2001-01-01"),
as.Date("2010-12-29"), by="day"))Now we run the forest dynamics model using all inputs (note that no
intermediate input object is needed, as in spwb() or
growth()):
fd<-fordyn(exampleforest, examplesoil, SpParamsMED, meteo, control,
latitude = 41.82592, elevation = 100)## Simulating year 2001 (1/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2002 (2/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2003 (3/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2004 (4/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2005 (5/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2006 (6/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2007 (7/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2008 (8/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2009 (9/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
## Simulating year 2010 (10/10): (a) Growth/mortality, (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 1
It is worth noting that, while fordyn() calls function
growth() internally for each simulated year, the
verbose option of the control parameters only affects
function fordyn() (i.e. all console output from
growth() is hidden). Recruitment and summaries are done
only once a year at the level of function fordyn().
Inspecting model outputs
Stand, species and cohort summaries and plots
Among other outputs, function fordyn() calculates
standard summary statistics that describe the structural and
compositional state of the forest at each time step. For example, we can
access stand-level statistics using:

Package medfate provides a simple plot
function for objects of class fordyn. For example, we can
show the interannual variation in stand-level basal area using:
plot(fd, type = "StandBasalArea")
Tree/shrub tables
Another useful output of fordyn() are tables in long
format with cohort structural information (i.e. DBH, height, density,
etc) for each time step:

Accessing the output from function growth()
Since function fordyn() makes internal calls to function
growth(), it stores the result in a vector called
GrowthResults, which we can use to inspect intra-annual
patterns of desired variables. For example, the following shows the leaf
area for individuals of the three cohorts during the second year:
plot(fd$GrowthResults[[2]], "LeafArea", bySpecies = T)
Instead of examining year by year, it is possible to plot the whole
series of results by passing a fordyn object to the
plot() function:
plot(fd, "LeafArea")
We can also create interactive plots for particular steps using
function shinyplot(), e.g.:
shinyplot(fd$GrowthResults[[1]])Finally, calling function extract() will extract and
bind outputs for all the internal calls to function
growth():

Forest dynamics including management
The package allows including forest management in simulations of
forest dynamics. This is done in a very flexible manner, in the sense
that fordyn() allows the user to supply an arbitrary
function implementing a desired management strategy for the stand whose
dynamics are to be simulated. The package includes, however, an in-built
default function called defaultManagementFunction() along
with a flexible parameterization, a list with defaults provided by
function defaultManagementArguments().
Here we provide an example of simulations including forest management:
# Default arguments
args <- defaultManagementArguments()
# Here one can modify defaults before calling fordyn()
#
# Simulation
fd<-fordyn(exampleforest, examplesoil, SpParamsMED, meteo, control,
latitude = 41.82592, elevation = 100,
management_function = defaultManagementFunction,
management_args = args)## Simulating year 2001 (1/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [thinning], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2002 (2/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2003 (3/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2004 (4/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2005 (5/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2006 (6/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2007 (7/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2008 (8/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2009 (9/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
## Simulating year 2010 (10/10): (a) Growth/mortality & management [none], (b) Regeneration nT = 2 nS = 2
When management is included in simulations, two additional tables are produced, corresponding to the trees and shrubs that were cut, e.g.:
fd$CutTreeTable## Step Year Cohort Species DBH Height N Z50 Z95 Z100
## 1 1 2001 T1_158 Pinus halepensis 37.59922 802.6468 9.162901 100 300 NA
## 2 1 2001 T2_179 Quercus ilex 14.71708 661.7987 383.667576 300 1000 NA
## Age ObsID
## 1 40 NA
## 2 24 NA
Management parameters were those of an irregular model with thinning interventions from ‘below’, indicating that smaller trees were to be cut earlier:
args$type## [1] "irregular"
args$thinning## [1] "below"
Note that in this example, there is resprouting of Quercus ilex after the thinning intervention, evidenced by the new cohort (T3_168) appearing in year 2001:
