Parameters of the crown-diameter allometry (Species, Genus, Family levels)

Parameters of crown-diameter allometry used to compute the crown diameter of each tree, depending on its DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) and its Species, Genus or Family names (Aubry-Kientz et al.2019).

Usage

ParamCrownDiameterAllometry

Format

A tibble with 371 rows and 7 variables:

alpha

Coefficient of the equation: ln(DBH) = alpha + beta ln(H*CD) + error, with error~N(0,sigma^2). DBH: tree diameter at breast hight, H: tree height, CD: tree crown diameter. Mean sigma^2 = 0.0295966977 (double)

beta

Coefficient of the equation: ln(DBH) = alpha + beta ln(H*CD) + error, with error~N(0,sigma^2).DBH: tree diameter at breast hight, H: tree height, CD: tree crown diameter. Mean sigma^2 = 0.0295966977 (double)
