get_plots_gap_fbh {LadderFuelsR}

Plots of tree profiles with gaps and fuel layers base height (fbh)

Description

This function plots gaps and fuel layers base height (fbh) in the vertical tree profile (VTP).

Usage

get_plots_gap_fbh (LAD_profiles,gap_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

gap_cbh_metrics

data frame with gaps (distances) and fuel base heights (output of [get_gaps_fbhs()] function). An object of the class text.

min_height

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

Value

A plot drawing by lines the height of gaps and fuel layers bases in tiff format.
