| 205 | | The above declaration implies that 9/15th of the trees will always be in the smallest diameter class, 5/15th will be in the medium class and 1 tree out of 15 will be in the largest diameter class. These ratios are kept throughout the simulations and the boundaries of the diameter classes are adjusted to respect this constraint. Consequently, an even-aged stand will be simulated with three diameter classes where the diameter of the first class may be, for example, 20.3 cm, the diameter of the second class 20.4 cm and the diameter of the third class 20.5 cm. The same code and set-up allows to simulate, in the same simulation, an uneven-aged stand for the same PFT but in a different pixel with, for example, the smallest diameter 7 cm, the medium diameter 25 cm and the largest diameter 45 cm. |
