Package 'LandR.CS'

Title: Climate-sensitive Growth and Mortality in LandR
Description: This package contains climate-sensitive growth and mortality function for LandR. Some flexibility exists in how climate-sensitivity is derived, however the simplest and most robust method is to use the SpaDES module 'gmcsDataPrep' and R package 'PSPclean'.

Description

Predict biomass change with climate variables

Usage

calculateClimateEffect(
  cohortData,
  pixelGroupMap,
  cceArgs,
  gmcsGrowthLimits,
  gmcsMinAge,
  time = NULL,
  cohortDefinitionCols = c("age", "speciesCode", "pixelGroup")
)

Arguments

cohortData

The LandR cohortData object
pixelGroupMap

the pixelGroupMap needed to match cohorts with raster values
cceArgs

a list of datasets used by the climate function
gmcsGrowthLimits

lower and upper limits to the effect of climate on growth
gmcsMinAge

minimum age for which to predict full effect of growth/mortality - younger ages are weighted toward a null effect with decreasing age
time

the time of simulation - only used for writing outputs if applicable
cohortDefinitionCols

cohortData columns that determine individual cohorts
