Data products in this repository: 

• Voxel files at 0.25 m resolution created using AMAPvox, export in .vox format,
• AMAPvox configuration files for GUI in .xml format
• R code to pre-process Lidar point clouds, calculated PAD and export in table format
• Boundary shapefile to define oak plot area in UAV Lidar flights as .shp format
• Workbook including code and descriptions to follow the processing pipeline (.html format). 

AI Statement: Google Gemini and Claude Opus versions were used to support the creation of R and Python code, and formatting the workbook .
