GeoBioTool

Plugin ID: 3876

GeoBioTool(GBT) enables QGIS users to compute biodiversity and canopy structure metrics from classified rasters and ASCII point cloud data. It calculates Shannon–Wiener (Shannon, 1948) and Simpson (Simpson, 1949) indices from land cover classifications, Local Beta diversity (Jaccard / Sorensen) as a window-based turnover summary (TXT report), Foliage Height Diversity (FHD) (MacArthur & MacArthur, 1961), Rumple Index (Parker et al., 2004), Rugosity Index (Dustan et al., 2013), Leaf Area Index (LAI) & Vertical Complexity Index (VCI), and Height-Matrix metrics (zmean, zmax, zmin) from point files. Suitable for biodiversity assessment, ecological monitoring, nature-positive planning, and vertical vegetation analysis.
