Define LAI as Input Value

[yjaguilara]

I would like to be able to initially define LAI for each of the days I am going to analyze, in the same way that I defined SAI, densef, Age, height. However, the code I have found only gives me the option to calculate LAI with the available methods using make_seasLAI.
What function or variable input could I use to define specific LAI values for each of the days I will analyze?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you also estimate LAI from a function and few parameters? We could implement it as a new lai-method into the package.

Otherwise, you can use the low-level function that calls the model kernel (see below), or adjust the run_LWFB90() function directly.

Let me know if that works for you.

Best regards,

# create an input list without running the model
input <- run_LWFB90(options_b90 = opts, 
           param_b90 = parms,
           climate = slb1_meteo,

# prepare climate
climate = data.table(slb1_meteo)
climate[,`:=`(yr=year(dates), mo = month(dates), da = mday(dates), mesfl = 0)]
climate <- climate[between(dates, opts$startdate,opts$enddate),]

# put your lai series into standprop_daily data.frame
