get_plots_cbh_maxdist {LadderFuelsR}

Plots the Crown Base Height (CBH) based on the maximum distance criterium

Description

This function plots the CBH of a segmented tree based on the fuel layer located at the maximum distance.

Usage

get_plots_cbh_maxdist(LAD_profiles, cbh_metrics, min_height=1.5)

Arguments

LAD_profiles

Original tree Leaf Area Density (LAD) profile (output of [lad.profile()] function in the leafR package). An object of the class text.

cbh_metrics

CBH metrics based on three criteria: maximum LAD percentage, maximum distance and last distance. (output of [get_cbh_metrics()] function). An object of the class text.

min_height

Numeric value for the actual minimum base height (in meters).

Value

A plot drawing the Crown Base Height (CBH) of the fuel layer located at the maximum distance.
