Applying probability of establishment to planting #70

Open cjm23 opened 3 years ago

cjm23 commented 3 years ago

Because of climate change, certain species are struggling to establish even if planted. To reflect this in the model, would it be possible to apply the probability of establishment to planting? Such that if probability of establishment for that species in that ecoregion for that year is zero, then no cohorts that were planted actually establish?

Charles,

Look at PlugIn.cs L465 and L479. Currently for planting, Pest must be > 0.0. And so you want to replace L479 with L465?

cjm23 commented 3 years ago

I didn't realize that check was in there. What would the effects of subbing in L465 be? Because it might make sense to have the probability of establishment limit the amount of biomass that is planted when that probability is low. For example, if the probEST is 10%, then only X * 10% biomass is actually planted.

Charles, I'm happy to put together a beta version. I suspect it would not be as sensitive to a reduction in initial biomass as it would to simply applying Pest.

I'm relaunching this conversation. Is there any interest in implementing Charles' proposal?
