Hudak - Automated tool for vertical fuel continuity analysis using Airborne Laser Scanning data that can be applied on multiple tree species and for large-scale studies.The workflow consisted of 1) calculating the Leaf Area Density (LAD) profiles of each segmented tree; 2) identifying gaps and fuel layers; 3) estimating the distance between fuel layers; and 4) retrieving the fuel layers base height (FBH) and depth. Additionally, other functions recalculate previous metrics after considering distances > 1 m and calculate the CBH based on three criteria: maximum LAD, and the largest- and the last-distance. Moreover, the package calculates: i) the percentage of LAD comprised in each fuel layer and remove fuel layers below a specified threshold (default 25 % LAD) recalculating the distances among the reminder ones. On the other hand, when the LAD profiles showed only one fuel layer with CBH at 1.5 m (the base height), it identifies the CBH performing a segmented linear regression (breaking point) on the cumulative sum of LAD as a function of height. Finally, a collection of plotting functions is developed to represent all previous metrics. # Getting Started @@ -18,11 +16,6 @@ Automated tool for vertical fuel continuity analysis using Airborne Laser Scanni #The CRAN version: install.packages("LadderFuelsR") -# The development version: -#install.packages("remotes") -library(remotes) -install_github("https://github.com/olgaviedma/LadderFuelsR", dependencies = TRUE) - # loading LadderFuelsR package library(LadderFuelsR) ``` @@ -908,18 +901,6 @@ ggplot() +
