read.allom.data

Extracts PFT- and component-specific data and allometeric equations from the specified files.

read.allom.data(pft.data, component, field, parm, nsim = 10000)

Arguments

pft.data

PFT dataframe

acronym

USDA species acronyms, used with FIELD data (vector)

spcd

USFS species codes, use with TALLY data (vector)

component

allometry ID, Jenkins table 5

field

raw field data

parm

allometry equation file, Jenkins table 3

nsim

number of Monte Carlo draws in numerical transforms

Value

field

PFT-filtered field Data

parm

Component- and PFT-filtered Allometric Equations

Details

This code also estimates the standard error from R-squared, which is required to simulate pseudodata from the allometric eqns.
