Forest Canopy Height — fd_canopy

Download the ETH Global Sentinel-2 10m Canopy Height (2020)

Usage

fd_canopy_height(
  x = NULL,
  lon = NULL,
  lat = NULL,
  layer = "chm",
  crop = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x: a sf or SpatVector object. It will retrieve the necessary tiles to cover the area (if lat and lon are specified, this argument is ignored)
lon: a number specifying the longitude of the area where we want the tile
lat: a number specifying the latitude of the area where we want the tile
layer: a string for the layer to download. The default "chm" downloads the Canopy Height Model, while "std" downloads the standard deviation. If you want both layers, use "all"
crop: when x is specified, whether to crop the tiles(s) to the object
...: additional arguments passed to the crop function

Value

A SpatRaster
