abstract: Maps individual tree stem locations on field plots of the Forest Inventory
  and Analysis Program of USDA Forest Service (<https://research.fs.usda.gov/programs/nfi>).
  Stem locations are mapped in cartesian coordinate space based on field-measured
  distance and azimuth from subplot and microplot centers. Per-tree crown widths are
  estimated using a curated set of allometric equations with coverage for the conterminous
  US. Spatial descriptors of tree point pattern are computed at the whole plot level.
  Several stand height metrics are also computed and provided in the output. The spatial
  representation of modeled tree crowns is used to generate estimates of fractional
  tree canopy cover at the microplot, subplot and whole plot levels. Convenience functions
  are provided for efficient data processing. Exploratory data analysis is also facilitated
  via integration with the 'spatstat' packages.
