sgsR - structurally guided sampling using ALS metrics

sgsR is designed to implement structurally guided sampling approaches for enhanced forest inventories. The package was designed to function using rasterized airborne laser scanning (ALS; Lidar) metrics to allow for stratification of forested areas based on structure.

Installation

You can install the released version of sgsR from Github with:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("https://github.com/tgoodbody/sgsR")
library(sgsR)

Implementation

  • Describe package fundamentals - vignette("sgsR")

  • Overview of sampling algorithms - vignette("sampling")

  • Overview of stratification algorithms - vignette("stratification")

  • Overview of calculate algorithms - vignette("calculating")
