fgeo helps you to install, load, and access the documentation of multiple packages to analyze forest diversity and dynamics (fgeo.analyze, fgeo.plot, fgeo.tool, fgeo.x). This package-collection allows you to manipulate and plot ForestGEO data, and to do common analyses including abundance, demography, and species-habitats associations.
Make sure your R environment is as follows:
- R version is recent
- All packages are updated (run
update.packages(); maybe useask = FALSE) - No other R session is running
- Current R session is clean (click Session > Restart R)
Install the latest stable version of fgeo from CRAN with:
install.packages("fgeo")Or install the development version of fgeo from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")

of input. You can create different input classes, for example, with
sp() and sp_elev():
- Use

class(sp(stem_2sp))
