trListDead-class {sitree}

Class "trListDead"

Description

A Reference Class for dead trees.

Extends

Class "trList", directly.

All reference classes extend and inherit methods from "envRefClass".

Fields

data:

Object of class list containing the unique stand ID, the tree ID, and dbh and height for all the periods. Only data from the periods were the tree was alive is stored in this field

nperiods:

Object of class integer containing the number of period that should be simulated

last.measurement:

Object of class data.frame containing tree ID, dbh, height, and period when the tree was "found" dead

Methods

last.time.alive():

It estimates when the trees where last "seen" alive

addTrees(value):

It add trees to the trlistDead object

remove.next.period(next.period):

It removed the data from the period when the tree was seen "dead". The next period is calculated so the dbh and height at time of death can be estimated

The following methods are inherited (from the corresponding class): extractTrees ("trList"), as.list ("trList"), show ("trList"), getTrees ("trList"), addTrees ("trList")

Note

This class is meant to keep the data of the dead trees in a similar way as the live trees, but with some extra information such as diameter and height at death.
