Description
Return excluded=start+end-credit and plantable=row-excluded.
Agroforestry geometry separates row widths, root-zone intervals, canopy projections and repeated-strip area bases. Optical shade, optical porosity and a clear machinery corridor are different quantities. Ideal dimensions and supplied overlaps can support bookkeeping without establishing light conditions, aerodynamic shelter or safe access.
Return excluded=start+end-credit and plantable=row-excluded.
When to use this tool
Use Tree Buffer Row End Credit when checking the stated ideal tree-row, shade, buffer or area convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter rowLength, startBuffer, endBuffer, overlapCredit. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read plantableLength, excludedLength. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative row length and end buffers, with overlap credit no larger than either buffer and their union within row length. Return excluded=start+end-credit and plantable=row-excluded.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Overlap credit is supplied, not derived from geometry; no planting or machinery-clearance recommendation is selected.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use measured terrain and canopy geometry, appropriate light/flow models and qualified agricultural/engineering assessment for actual layouts and operations.
