GeoBioTool QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Quiet
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
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.
About
GeoBioTool(GBT) is a biodiversity analysis plugin powered by Invalab. Vision: Adding Nature, Realizing Nature-Positive. Mission: Re-building nature capital from intangible value into investable asset. We're unlocking the hidden value 'X' from life of earth. Now with Local Beta (Jaccard/Sorensen) in addition to diversity indices, FHD, Rumple, Rugosity, LAI/VCI and Height-Matrix analysis. The plugin menu groups ASCII-report tools and raster-output tools with a visual separator for clarity.
