abstract: 'Characterises the environment surrounding point locations by computing
  land-cover composition within circular buffers directly from vector polygons, without
  conversion to a raster grid. For each site and each class it returns the exact surface
  area inside the buffer and a distance-decay weighted "effective" area in which the
  kernel is integrated over polygon geometry rather than evaluated at the polygon
  centroid, avoiding the large bias the centroid approximation introduces for elongated
  features passing close to the site. Polygons may overlap, so class areas are not
  constrained to sum to the buffer area. Intended for buffer-based exposure assessment
  and fine-scale spatial epidemiology, where the relevant scale is tens of metres
  and global land-cover products are too coarse: land-use regression around air-quality
  monitors, green space around residential addresses, vector-surveillance traps, and
  comparable designs. The classification dictionary is user-supplied, and point features
  and distances to off-buffer reference features are recorded alongside the areas.'
