The R program is one of the most popular programs being used by forest analysts today. Forest analysts use R packages, or collections of functions and data sets, to help guide their everyday work. There are over 18,000 R packages archived on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) repository. R users also make packages available on GitHub, particularly for specific disciplines like forest inventory and measurements.
This episode focuses on packages that are specific to the discipline of forest inventory. These are packages developed “by foresters, for foresters”.
