lidaRtRee: R package for forest analysis with airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) data

lidaRtRee is an R package that provides functions for forest analysis using airborne laser scanning (LiDAR remote sensing) data: tree detection (method 1 in Eysn et al., 2015) and segmentation; forest parameters estimation and mapping with the area-based approach. It includes complementary steps for forest mapping: co-registration of field plots with LiDAR data (Monnet and Mermin, 2014); extraction of both physical (gaps, edges, trees) and statistical features from LiDAR data useful for e.g. habitat suitability modeling (Glad et al., 2020) and forest maturity mapping (Fuhr et al., 2022); model calibration with ground reference; maps export. It is available on CRAN. Tutorials are available in the documentation.
