This set of code generates predictive multiclass models of cover distributions based on VSWIR apparent surface reflectance
collected by the NEON AOP. This code was forked from the confer classification mapping repository created as part of an effort to generate foliar trait maps throughout the Department of Energy (DOE) Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WF-SFA) site in Crested Butte, CO in association with NEON's Assignable Asset program.
This repository was developed to support aspen cytotype mapping across this same site.
A full description of the effort is in prep, led by Ben Blonder. Citation will be updated as available. When it is published use of this code should cite that manuscript.
