Dear Colleagues, I am tasked with defining harvesting strips for a community forest in Zambia and am struggling to find a suitable solution. Our approach uses the coop and shelter belt (harvest alternative strips of forest) method and requires that our area be split into 5 ha "blocks". I understand how to make a grid of 5 ha blocks, however, we have a topography issue. Our site is located in some pretty hilly areas so we want to harvest along contours to avoid soil erosion issues. I am looking for a quantitative approach to portioning our site up into 5ha blocks that run along contours. I have access to QGIS and R as well as any other FOSS available. Do any of the Qgis users have a suggestion with regards to a suitable approach?
Many thanks, Wesley -- Dr Wesley Roberts [email protected] Cell: +27(0)83 5355 646 skype: roberts-w
