This tutorial presents R code for forest mapping with the so-called area-based method. It consists in using prediction models calibrated during the previous step with wall-to-wall lidar surveys to produce maps of forest parameters.

The following files are provided:

• Rmarkdown source,
• ABA forest mapping and inference in html,
• datasets required to run the source code are also available on the repository and on google drive.
