create_fire_regime.Rd
Defines an object containing fire regime parameters for simulations of forest dynamics.
create_fire_regime(annual_burned_area, sd_burned_area = NULL, doy = NULL)
A named vector of burned area in hectares for simulation years.
A named vector of standard deviation (in log scale) of burned area. If specified, annual target to burn will be determined
using a log-normal distribution with mean values given by annual_burned_area
.
A named integer vector with the day of the year (i.e. between 1 and 366) when fires will be simulated for each simulation year in annual_burned_area
. If NULL
fires will be simulated on the driest day (i.e. when vapor pressure deficit is largest).
A list with the supplied parameters
Names of annual_burned_area
should be simulation years. If provided, sd_burned_area
should be a vector of the same size as
annual_burned_area
and have the same names.
