mng.tree.removal {sitree}

Function to remove trees

Description

Define how trees are going to be removed in plots with some sort of management that involves removal (e.g final felling, thinning).

Usage

mng.tree.removal(tr, fl, common.vars, this.period, next.period, ...)

Arguments

tr

A trList class object.

fl

A list describing the plot data.

common.vars

A list with at least variable vol.wo.tr.m3.ha

this.period

The period for which to calculate final felling and thinning probability.

next.period

The next period to the one for which final felling and thinning probability are to be calculated.

...

A list containing at least an element named per.vol.harv, that should contain the percentatge of volume removed within each plot/stand.

Value

Returns a TRUE/FALSE vector of length equal to the number of trees in tr.
