Pine saplings in a 10m x 10m region of a Finnish forest

Description:

These data record pine saplings in a bounded region A, where A is a 10 m x 10 m square region of a Finnish forest. The data were supplied by Antti Penttinen and Dietrich Stoyan, are mapped in Stoyan and Stoyan (1994, p. 287) and analysed in Cressie and Collins (2001).

Format:

x: x location

y: y location

height: sapling height in m

diam: sapling diameter in cm.

Usage:

X <- read.table("forest.csv",sep=",",header=T)
ggplot() + geom_point(data=X,aes(x,y,size=diam,colour=height))
