Subject: biomass R package for ForestGeo plots
KC is analyzing taper for multiple plots and testing alternative methods to handle changes in points of measurement. Ervan and Mauro are working on an R package for biomass stock and flux estimates at ForestGEO plots, including the taper correction as part of that. Ervan also mentioned that in working with Mauro on that, Mauro told him about an R function (regression test if I remember the name?) that can help in assessing how code changes propagate to output changes, which was itself useful.
KC, I suggest you share a draft of the manuscript with Ervan and Mauro. And perhaps the three of you, or some subset, should chat about whether some of this could or should be incorporated into the R package.
Hi @kccushman and @ervanSTRI,
I've added KC as a collaborator to this repo. Also I created the @forestgeo/taper team and added both of you to it. I look forward to your accepting the invitation and discussing how to develop this.
