FVS: Update interface(s) with FICS/TVBC when new version is available #299

Open lbross opened 1 year ago

lbross commented 1 year ago

We know that a new version of FICS is coming at some point. Jason has indicated it will have some new inputs. We learned that volcfnet may be null for Woodland Species. If this is approved, BioSum will need to be updated to accommodate these null values. Volcfnet is used by Processor to determine if a tree is cull with this formula: with this formula. if fvs_tree.volcfnet < ((100-cullPctThreshold) * fvs_tree.volcfgrs / 100) then true else false. Jeremy recommended replacing this with logic related to the tree.cull field.

This issue will be used to track changes required by the new version of FICS as we receive them.

We think that (for woodland species) volcfnet and volcfgrs will be null and voltsgrs will now be guaranteed a value for all trees in FIADB. There is discussion on populating VOLCFGRS and VOLCFNET with VOLTSGRS for woodland species.

Waiting to see how this will be handled in the next version of FICS. The post-processing audit will need to be adjusted for potential nulls in volcfnet an volcfgrs.

Jason updated the name of the application to FIA-TVBC (FIA Tree Volume and Biomass and Carbon)
