Estimates tree height from DBH

Estimates total tree height using height-diameter (h-d) equations. Currently, only models developed for Spain are available.

Usage

silv_predict_height(diameter, model, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

diameter: Numeric vector with diameters in cm
model: A function. A function with the structure eq_hd_*() with additional arguments depending on the specific model. Currently only eq_hd_vazquez_veloso_2025() is available.
quiet: A logical value. If TRUE, suppresses any informational messages.

Value

A numeric vector with predicted heights

Details

The function estimates total tree height (in meters) using diameter at breast height (in centimeters), and may require additional information depending on the specific model. See each model’s documentation for details.
