Estimating Environmental Suitability for Plants
The ecocrop model estimates environmental suitability for plants using a limiting factor approach for plant growth following Hackett (1991) <doi:10.1007/BF00045728>. The implementation in this package is fast and flexible: it allows for the use of any (environmental) predictor variable. Predictors can be either static (for example, soil pH) or dynamic (for example, monthly precipitation).
