Varying HMAT in strategies for lcp function #343
Comments
Hey @Becca-90 - I had to think about this for a minute.
In your example, I think you're comparing the LCP of individuals all at the same age and the same height. If you grow these trees to age (e.g. 10 or 50yrs) you'd expect them to achieve different sizes, and maybe then would see different LCP? PS. feel free to share the plots with your code as well! You can paste images from the clipboard and Github will insert them for you. |
@a-orn is correct - Hmat shouldn't affect LCP, as it doesn't affect turnover. LCP does change with height of the plant, but not height at maturation per se. |
Ahh I see...I was thinking it would affect the height growth rate...but we're actually thinking about relative growth rate right? That makes sense now I think...so as you say I would need to grow 2 plants to different ages (maybe where one has reached HMAT and one not) , or different heights(?) and compare LCP... So... I could grow 2 individuals of say HMAT = 10m, one to a younger age/pre-HMAT height, one to a greater age/post-HMAT height, and compare LCP, and then maybe see how this difference compares with the difference between another 2 individuals of e.g. HMAT = 25m at pre- and post- HMAT height...? Does that make sense? |
Yep! That's how I imagined it. You might consider differences in |
If I create 3 strategies varying a particular trait, e.g. LMA, we can see that the lcp varies depending on the values, however there is no change when different HMAT values are specified in the strategies.
