val_vta

Species-specific polynomial coefficients (a, b, c, d) used in the Vallet
form factor model to compute total aboveground volume (VTA).

datasets

Provides tools for estimating forest metrics such as stem volume,
biomass, and carbon using regional allometric equations. The package
implements widely used models including
