This software is programmed as a Matlab App (@MATLAB R2020a). The software rootFORCE estimates the probability distribution of root reinforcement over a forested stand as function of its tree species identity, tree density and average DBH. For more details, please see the scientific references.

- Prerequisites for Deployment
Verify that version 9.8 (R2020a) of the MATLAB Runtime is installed.
If not, you can run the MATLAB Runtime installer.
To find its location, enter
>>mcrinstaller
at the MATLAB prompt. NOTE: You will need administrator rights to run the MATLAB Runtime installer.
Alternatively, download and install the Windows version of the MATLAB Runtime for R2020a from the following link on the MathWorks website:
https://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/index.html
For more information about the MATLAB Runtime and the MATLAB Runtime installer, see
"Distribute Applications" in the MATLAB Compiler documentation
in the MathWorks Documentation Center.
