Fractal Sampling Point Nesting

<b>Description: </b>This dataset contains a table showing the nesting of sampling points within the fractal sampling design at the SAFE project and an R code file used to create the nesting from a GIS file of the core sampling locations.<br><br>There are five fractal levels across 17 sites: six experimental blocks (A-F), two edge transects (LFE, VJR) and three sets of triplets of sites to sample specific habitats (Old growth: OG1 - 3, Oil palm: OP1 - 3, Twice logged forest: LF1 - 3). Within each site, there are sampling points at five fractal scales with fractal order 1 as the smallest scale and fractal order 5 being the largest scale. This file identifies the child - parent relationships of points across the fractal sampling levels.
