14 Nov 2019 | | Abstract: | rFIA is an R package designed to simplify the estimation of forest attributes
using the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Database.
Specifically, rFIA improves accessibility to the spatio-temporal estimation
capacity of the FIA Database via space-time indexed summaries of forest
variables within user-defined population boundaries. Direct integration with
other popular R packages (e.g., dplyr, sf, and parallel) facilitates efficient
space-time query and data summary, and supports common data representations and
application programming interface (API). The package implements design-based
estimation procedures used by the FIA Program, and has been validated against
official estimates and sampling errors produced by the FIA Program. We
demonstrate the utility of rFIA by assessing changes in abundance and mortality
rates of ash populations in the lower peninsula of Michigan following the
establishment of emerald ash borer. | | Source: | arXiv, 1911.6302 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
