R scripts for analyzing LiDAR data to assess forest canopy structure and perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on derived metrics

This repository contains R scripts for analyzing LiDAR data to assess forest canopy structure and perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on spectral and LiDAR-derived metrics. The scripts cover LiDAR data processing, canopy height model (CHM) generation, calculation of forest canopy metrics, and PCA analysis.
