Overview

Second phase of the larger Agroforestry project.

Aim: Using the establish classification of trees outside of forests in Nebraska to test and validate a variety of sample designs that allow use to estimate expected trees outside of forest from a subset of the full coverage classifcation.

Folder and file descriptions

data -- this is going to be ignored for github, so contact dan for access to current information.

derived :

• areaCounts : folder for storing the results of the calculations of total area of tree outside of forest for the stratification geographies of interest
• all NLCD classes : summary of the area of all NLCD classes per state
• forestArea : summary of total forest area from CDL datasets per state
• state areas : summary of total area per state
• urban areas : summary of total urban area per state products :
• modelGrids : folder containing the model grid reference files
• nlcdMask : gpkg files that are used as forest area masks
• urbanMask : us census places file that is used for urban areas mask raw :
• spatialAreaFiles : gpkg files of the established area in which spatial stratification will take place
• ecoregions -- epa lvl 3
• koppen climate zones
• LRR
• MLRA

figure

• storing outputs that are shared elsewhere. Trying using date stamps in file names

functions

• reclassByYear.R : generic function for processing the change over time data format to a specific year. Heavy processing effect to run this

scripts

• summarizeTheAreaResults.R : Take output from the calculateForestAreaPerRegion and produce a map and bar chart
• calculateForestAreaPerRegion.R : workflow for producing counts of trees outside of forest at a specific geography
