Forest Canopy Height

Description

Download the ETH Global Sentinel-2 10m Canopy Height (2020)

Usage

fd_canopy_height_eth(
  x = NULL,
  lon = NULL,
  lat = NULL,
  layer = "chm",
  crop = FALSE,
  mask = FALSE,
  merge = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

x	a sf or SpatVector object. It will retrieve the necessary tiles to cover the area (if lat and lon are specified, this argument is ignored)
lon	a number specifying the longitude of the area where we want the tile
lat	a number specifying the latitude of the area where we want the tile
layer	a string for the layer to download. The default "chm" downloads the Canopy Height Model, while "std" downloads the standard deviation. If you want both layers, use "all"
crop	when x is specified, whether to crop the tile(s) to the object
mask	when x is specified, whether to mask the tile(s) to the object
merge	if FALSE (default), it will merge the tiles into one raster. If FALSE a SpatRasterCollection will be returned.
quiet	if TRUE, suppress any message or progress bar

Details

Value

A SpatRaster
