title: 'crownmetrics: Tree Crown Shape and Morphometric Parameters'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Provides functions to compute tree crown volume and projected area using
  geometric solid approximations (ellipsoid, cone, cylinder, paraboloid, and fan shapes),
  and to calculate morphometric indices commonly used in forest inventory and silviculture,
  including crown ratio, crown form factor, slenderness, salience index, and scope
  index. Methods are based on peer-reviewed literature in forest science.
