Data: Taper Curve models fit using R-Package TapeR

Description

Taper curve models based on a large data base of sectional measurements and fit by TapeR_FIT_LME.f.

Usage

SKPar

Format

A list with eight elements, each a TapeR taper curve model, fit using TapeR_FIT_LME.f. Additionally, these objects carry two attributes: spp and name, the first refering to the species code (cf. tprSpeciesCode) and the second to the abbreviated german species name. These eight models refer to the different tree species: Norway Spruce, Silver fir, Douglas fir, Scots pine, European larch, European Beech, Oak and Northern red oak. The spp-attributed is evaluated e.g. by the bark functions

Details

These taper curve models were developed for this package based on a collection of sectional measurements from several german forest research stations (FVA-BW, LFE, NW-FVA, TUM) and french ONF. Details for model fitting can be found in the corresponding report.

Data used to fit the models consists of

where n=number of trees and n_D=number of diameter measurements included.
