Description: The goal of 'rFIA' is to increase the accessibility and
        use of the United States Forest Services (USFS) Forest
        Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Database by providing a
        user-friendly, open source toolkit to easily query and analyze
        FIA Data. Designed to accommodate a wide range of potential
        user objectives, 'rFIA' simplifies the estimation of forest
        variables from the FIA Database and allows all R users (experts
        and newcomers alike) to unlock the flexibility inherent to the
        Enhanced FIA design. Specifically, 'rFIA' improves
        accessibility to the spatial-temporal estimation capacity of
        the FIA Database by producing space-time indexed summaries of
        forest variables within user-defined population boundaries.
        Direct integration with other popular R packages (e.g.,
        'dplyr', 'tidyr', and 'sf') facilitates efficient space-time
        query and data summary, and supports common data
        representations and API design. The package implements
        design-based estimation procedures outlined by Bechtold &
        Patterson (2005) <doi:10.2737/SRS-GTR-80>, and has been
        validated against estimates and sampling errors produced by FIA
        'EVALIDator'. Current development is focused on the
        implementation of spatially-enabled model-assisted and
        model-based estimators to improve population, change, and ratio
        estimates.
