Individual-Based Forest Growth Simulator 'TROLL' R package rcontroll version 0.1.3 'TROLL' is coded in C++ and it typically simulates hundreds of thousands of individuals over hundreds of years. The 'rcontroll' R package is a wrapper of 'TROLL'. 'rcontroll' includes functions that generate inputs for simulations and run simulations. Finally, it is possible to analyse the 'TROLL' outputs through tables, figures, and maps taking advantage of other R visualisation packages. 'rcontroll' also offers the possibility to generate a virtual LiDAR point cloud that corresponds to a snapshot of the simulated forest.
