Description and Usage

This repository contains documentation of analyses of wildlife indicators (e.g., populations, habitat) as they relate to forestry and timber supply reviews.

All analyses documented here should be considered as draft examples of analyses that may have completed for timber supply review. They do not necessarily represent information that was used in any allowable annual cut determination.

Requirements

The model is coded using the R programming language. Thus, you will need to download program R to work with the code, but don't worry, it's free, open-source software. We also recommend downloading the free version of RStudio, which provides a nice integrated development environment for working with R.

R consists of many 'packages' developed by R users that bundle-up specific functions for manipulating, analyzing and visualizing aspatail and spatial data. The packages needed to run CLUS are documented in the respective pieces of code where they are used, and we do not list them all here.
