Customize RITY

This page describes the parameters that can be used to customize RITY (also called RITY-2). The model was developed by Ogris et al. (2019) . Look here to find out how to apply the model.

Arguments

dd_onset_start_date

The date, when the degree days start to sum up ('MM-DD').

dd_onset_threshold

Degree days that are required to trigger the onset of infestation. Additionally, the maximum temperature must exceed tfly.

tfly

Minimum temperature that beetles need to fly.

dd_onset_base

Base temperature to calculate degree days for development.

dd_total_dev

Degree days that are required for a generation to fully develop

dev_start, dev_end

Share in total development when the egg development starts and the juvenile beetle's development ends respectively. Usable if the development below/above these thresholds should account for mating, oviposition etc.

dev_sister_brood

Share in the total development, when a sister brood will be established.

dev_mortal_min, dev_mortal_max

The beetles are considered to be in white stages (egg, larva, pupa) if their development exceeds dev_mortal_min and subceeds dev_mortal_max. During these stages, the beetles could die caused by a mortality event. NULL means that no lower/upper threshold is defined.

func_ftmean, func_ftmax, func_atdiff

Functions to caclulate the air temperature in forest stands (see Ogris et al. 2019 , equations 1 - 3). Each parameter will be passed as SpatRaster:

tmin: min air temperature
tmean: mean air temperature
tmax: maximum air temperature

func_btmean, func_btmax, func_btdiff

Functions to caclulate the bark temperature (see Ogris et al. 2019 , equations 4 - 6). Each parameter will be passed as SpatRaster:

ftmin: min air temperature in forest stands
ftmean: mean air temperature in forest stands
ftmax: maximum air temperature in forest stands

dt_low, dt_up, topt, tmax, alpha, beta, gamma

Parameters to calculate the effective bark temperature (see Ogris et al. 2019 , equations 7 - 9).

model_end_date

Date when the model ends (no further development will be modeled).

daylength_dia

When the daylength falls below this threshold, diapause will be initiated.

mortality_date

Date when all white stages (egg, larva, pupa) die.

Details

In barrks, model() is used to customize a model. The following code illustrates which parameters are available for RITY and specifies their default values.

      dd_onset_base = 8.3,
      dd_onset_threshold = 155.6,

      tfly = 14.5,

      # ==== development ====

      dev_sister_brood = 0.5,

      func_ftmin = function(tmin) { 1.44 + 0.82 * tmin },
      func_ftmean = function(tmean) { 0.50 + 0.81 * tmean },
      func_ftmax = function(tmax) { 1.03 + 0.86 * tmax },
