FormTariff: Tariff for taper form

Description

evaluates tariff functions to estimate taper form, i.e. quotient of d03 by d005

Usage

FormTariff(spp, Dbh, Ht, inv)

Value

quotient of d03 / d005 [unitless]

Arguments

spp

species code of tprSpeciesCode

Dbh

diameter of considered tree at 1.3m above ground [cm]

Ht

tree height of considered tree [m]

inv

indicator for inventory (0=TapeS taper curve models, 1=NFI1, 2=NsoG, 3=IS08, 4=NFI3, 5=BDAT)
