Linear growth

This behavior does either diameter or height growth as a linear function of GLI.

Parameters for this behavior

Parameter nameDescription
Simple Linear - Diam Intercept in mm/yr (a) Intercept of the linear growth function, or growth at no light, in mm/yr, for diameter growth.
Simple Linear - Diam Slope (b) Slope of the linear growth function, for diameter growth.
Simple Linear - Height Intercept in cm/yr (a) Intercept of the linear growth function, or growth at no light, in cm/yr, for height growth.
Simple Linear - Height Slope (b) Slope of the linear growth function, for height growth.

How it works

This behavior calculates an amount of diameter or height growth as:

Y = (a + (b * GLI)) * T

where

How to apply it

This behavior can be applied to seedlings, saplings, and adults of any species. Any tree species/type combination to which it is applied must also have a light behavior applied. You can choose either a diam with auto height, diam only, or height only version.
