Storm Killed Partitioned DBH Biomass

This behavior calculates biomass of trees killed in storms as a linear function of DBH, partitioned into leaf, branch, and bole biomass.

Parameters for this behavior

Parameter nameDescription
Partitioned DBH Biomass - Bole Slope (a)The slope in the linear biomass equation for boles.
Partitioned DBH Biomass - Bole Intercept (b)The intercept in the linear biomass equation for boles.
Partitioned DBH Biomass - Branch Slope (a)The slope in the linear biomass equation for branches.
Partitioned DBH Biomass - Branch Intercept (b)The intercept in the linear biomass equation for branches.
Partitioned DBH Biomass - Leaf Slope (a)The slope in the linear biomass equation for leaves.
Partitioned DBH Biomass - Leaf Intercept (b)The intercept in the linear biomass equation for leaves.

How it works

Biomass is calculated in exactly the same way and using the same parameters as for the Partitioned DBH Biomass behavior, except it only calculates the biomass of those trees killed by the Storm damage killer behavior.

How to apply it

Apply this behavior to saplings, adults, or snags of any species. This behavior does not automatically create output. Once you have added this behavior to your run, the Detailed output grid setup window will list the Storm Killed Partitioned Biomass grid. You can then view the contents of this grid as a table using SORTIE's data visualization system.
