TITLE: compInd: An R package for forest tree-tree competition
indices

====================================================================
I've put an R package on my Github which has functions for a load
of different competition indices designed for forest tree-tree
competition, which I've harvested from the academic literature. A
lot of these competition indices come from older papers, as times
have moved on and this isn't such a popular field of research
anymore, but with more and more emphasis being put on long-term
forest plot monitoring infrastructure to track biodiversity,
productivity, and reaction to climate change, I think it might be
time for a revival. In the package repository you can find the
package manual and a vignette which describes the behaviour of some
of the indices.
