Scale interpolated tree-level biometric data to tree-level biomass and carbon using NSVB framework

Estimates tree-level biomass and carbon variables using the National Scale Volume and Biomass allometric equations (NSVB).

Usage

fia_allometry(data)

Arguments

data

A data frame or tibble; generally the output of fia_annualize().

Value

A tibble with the additional columns DRYBIO_AG and CARBON_AG that correspond to the FIAdb definitions of those variables.
