The Stand Slenderness Index is defined as the ratio of height to diameter,
multiplied by 100. It can be applied to mean height and quadratic mean diameter,
or dominant height and dominant diameter.
Usage
silv_stand_slenderness(height, diameter)
Arguments
- height
Numeric vector of tree heights
- diameter
Numeric vector of diameters or diameter classes
Value
A numeric vector representing the slenderness index.
Details
The formula used is:
$$Slenderness = \frac{H}{D} \times 100$$
where H is the height in meters and D is the diameter in centimeters.
Examples
## Calculate slenderness using mean height and quadratic mean diameter
silv_stand_slenderness(height = 18, diameter = 25)
#> [1] 72
