Calculate site shade
calcSiteShade(currentTime, cohortData, speciesEcoregion, minRelativeB)
The current simulation time e.g., time(sim)
.
A data.table
with columns: pixelGroup
, ecoregionGroup
,
speciesCode
, and optionally age
, B
, mortality
, aNPPAct
, and sumB
.
A data.table
with species
-ecoregion
-specific species trait values.
Ecoregion refers to "ecolocation", a categorical variable grouping sites with similar biophysical
characteristics. The table should have at least the following columns: speciesCode
and
ecoregionGroup
, character representation of species and ecoregion groups respectively,
maxB
the maximum biomass for the species in a given 'ecoregion', maxANPP
the maximum
aboveground net primary productivity and SEP
the species establishment probability.
May contain columns inflationFactor
(used to adjust maxB
) and mANPPproportion
(used to calculate maxANPP
).
a data.frame
with the cut points to classify stand shadiness.
