Dynamic Stem Profile Models, AKA Tree Taper Equations
Decay function delta
dyntaper: Dynamic Stem Profile Models, AKA Tree Taper Equations
Height level for given diameter or area.
Integral of decay function.
Double integral of decay function.
Tree taper (or profile) equation.
Unscaled base taper curve of cross-sectional area vs height level.
Volume between two height levels.
Performs calculations with tree taper (or stem profile) equations, including model fitting. The package implements the methods from García, O. (2015) "Dynamic modelling of tree form" <http://mcfns.net/index.php/Journal/article/view/MCFNS7.1_2>. The models are parsimonious, describe well the tree bole shape over its full length, and are consistent with wood formation mechanisms through time.
