required

Returns:

Name Type Description
c_factor float

Correction factor to be multiplied with neutron counts.

above_ground_biomass_correction_morris2024

above_ground_biomass_correction_morris2024(biomass_water_equivalent)

Provides the correction value to account for changes in above ground biomass.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
