differ: A forest spatial structure index characterizing differation...

In Zongzheng/forestSAS: An R package for forest spatial structure analysis systems

Description

Analyze the differation degree of tree attributies in a neighborhood unit according to the characteristics of the tree attributies,such as forest storey,speices,etc.in spatial micro-environment.which clearly define the differation degree of tree attributies for a reference tree and its four nearest neighbors.

Usage

differ(x)

Arguments

x	A vector composed by 5 tree attributies.

Value

Result will retrun five values,0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1,which means one, two, three, four or five different attributies of nearest neighbors for reference tree,respectively.
