_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The complex architecture of broadleaf trees requires stem-analysis
     be computed on each large branch. To get an overall picture of
     tree increments the stem-analyses should be joined together.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     JoinBranchesToStem(RWdata, Tree.object, branches)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  RWdata: a 'data.frame' holding the set of ring-widths. It can be
          imported from a csv text file through 'ImportRW'.

Tree.object: a 'data.frame' holding tree data. This object is easily
          created through 'BuildTreeObject'.

branches: a list of 'dataframe' objects holding the stem analysis of
          the stem and of each branch. The list can be created with the
          'c' function

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

_N_o_t_e:

     It should be noted that the current version of tReeglia does not
     support different tree data objects for the branches of trees.  As
     a result, it is not possible to assign different volume reduction
     coefficients, densities, and carbon contents to individual
     branches of the tree.
