understanding early pruning
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Trying to understand the numbers being used for the early pruning simulation. Is this implying that giving the trees early pruning gives them an extra 20 years of life? I also don't see production being affected, only years of production. This very well could be my lack of exp with matlab.
If you had ten minutes, something that would be extremely helpful is a brief summary of how production numbers (e.g. proportion of full harvest; years of production) change as a result of (1) pruning and (2) intercropping.
@djdebonis status? if done, leave some commentary and close it out
I think you got the description. It initially lowers production but extends time. The details are long gone from memory but the write-up likely has an in-depth explanation.
numbers are adjustable through the strategy.yml files. right now it can impact both total production 'per tree' as well as the lifespan of the trees (according to input discretion).
@djdebonis wanna give me a demo some time?
