  progress = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

SpParams

A species parameter data frame to be filled.

x

A list of forest objects, or a data frame with a column called forest, whose elements are of class forest.

quantile_Hmed

Quantile for Hmed

quantile_Hmax

Quantile for Hmax

quantile_fHDmin

Quantile for fHDmin

quantile_fHDmax

Quantile for fHDmax

progress

A boolean flag to prompt progress.

verbose

A boolean flag to indicate extra console output.

Value

A modified data frame of medfate species parameters

Details

This function fills information of the species parameter table from the data of the target forest inventory where simulations are to be conducted. Matching is performed between `Species` of the forest inventory data and `Name` of the species parameter table. The following information is extracted:

  • GrowthForm: Growth form according to the usage in the forest inventory. For example, if the species is cited in treeData tables but not in shrubData tables, then growth form will be "Tree".

  • Hmax: Maximum tree/shrub height (cm), according to the `Height` column in treeData or shrubData and quantile_Hmax parameter.

  • Hmed: Median tree/shrub height (cm), according to the `Height` column in treeData or shrubData and quantile_Hmed parameter.

  • fHDmin, fHDmax: Minimum or maximum height to diameter ratio for trees, according to the `Height` and `DBH` columns in treeData and quantile_fHDmin or quantile_fHDmax parameters, respectively.
