AM2016ClimateSensitiveSINorway {sitreeE}

Climate-sensitive site index models for Norway

Description

Implementation of models for climate-sensitive site index models for Norway as described in Antón-Fernández et al. (2016).

Usage

AM2016ClimateSensitiveSINorway(soilquality, t.early.summer, waterbal, SI.spp)

Arguments

soilquality

A factor with levels 1 to 5 indicating the soilquality category. 1 being the poorest soils and 5 the best soils

t.early.summer

A vector with sum temperatures (in C) in spring and early summer (april, june and july)

waterbal

A vector with the montly moisture surplus in June (difference between the 30-year mean precipitation in June and mean potential evapotranspiration in June.).

SI.spp

SI species, that is, the species for which SI should be calculated. 1 = spruce, 2 = pine, 3 = birch.

Value

Returns a vector with the estimated SI.
