sampSurf (version 0.7-6)

standUpIZ-class: Class "standUpIZ"

Description

This class holds the inclusion zone definition for the “stand-up” method (Gove and Van Deusen, 2011) for sampling down coarse woody debris.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("standUpIZ", ...). As usual in this class, however, this is not recommended because the objects are fairly complex. Instead, one can use the object constructor standUpIZ to create new objects.

Slots

Most of the slots are described in the superclasses (see below), please see their help pages for more information. Essentially, this class adds only one slot to the "downLogIZ" class specification.

circularPlot:

Object of class "circularPlot": An object from the "'>ArealSampling" subclass "'>circularPlot". Please see the help for this class for more information on the slots associated with circular plot objects.
