forestDroughtTool

Description of package

Features

Currently the package has the following functions and datasets:

• asmr() - This is the main function, used to calculate monthly asmr and classes for current and future periods.
• asmrCalc() - Background function used to compute daily water balance for five relative soil moisture regimes.
• soilsData - Soils dataset used by asmrCalc()
• PrinceGeorge - Daily 1918-2008 climate data from Prince George A climate station
