# List of forest gaps statistics:
gap_id: gap id
gap_area - area of gap (m2)
chm_max - Maximum canopy height (m) within gap boundary
chm_min - Minimum canopy height (m) within gap boundary
chm_mean - Mean canopy height (m) within gap boundary
chm_sd - Standard Deviation of canopy heights (m) within gap boundary
chm_gini - Gini Coefficient of canopy heights (m) within gap boundary
chm_range - Range of canopy heights (m) within gap boundary
A data.frame containing forest canopy gap statistics
