LiDAR moduleΒΆ

This module implements all LiDAR processing tasks for STANDFIRE. This includes creating a fishnet with 64x64m cells to divide the lidar points into one acre plots, calculating FVS input variables, running FVS for each plot and collating the results.

Inputs:

1. Lidar shapefile. Projected in WGS 1984 UTM (any zone). This shapefile needs to have the following attributes:

Field Name Type Units Description
X_UTM Float Meters X coordinate
Y_UTM Float Meters Y coordinate
Height_m Float Meters Tree height
CBH_m Float Meters Crown Base Height
DBH_cm Float Centimeters Diameter at Breast Height
Species String Text Two letter FVS species code
  1. FVS keyword file.

Outputs:

  1. Fishnet shapefile containing the plots (<example>_fishnet.shp)
  2. Lidar shapefile containing the input and calculated attributes (<example>_out.shp)
  3. Text file containing the calculated attributes (<example>_export.csv)
  4. FVS (<example>.tre and <example>.key) files for each plot
  5. Tree list for CAPSIS (<example>_trees.csv)
