PhytoIn 0.2.0 (2025-10-01)

• New function summary.param() (S3) with concise and robust output.
• collector.curve() and rarefaction() now include confidence intervals (ribbons) and configurable themes.
• AGB() no longer depends on rappdirs; optional cache via tools::R_user_dir() and BIOMASS::createCache().
• BAplot() fixed (global bindings) and compatible with rectangular plots and individual coordinates.
• New datasets: quadrat2_plot.df, quadrat2_tree.df, quadrat3_rect.df.
• Documentation, examples, and NAMESPACE/DESCRIPTION revised.

First public release on CRAN

• phytoparam(), summary.param(), plot.param() for phytosociological parameters and diversity indices.
• AGB() for aboveground biomass, carbon, and CO₂ equivalent (wrapper of BIOMASS).
• stratvol() for stratified volume by DBH classes.
• collector.curve() for species accumulation curves.
• rarefaction() for individual-based rarefaction with confidence intervals.
• BAplot() for visualization of basal areas (rectangular plots and individual coordinates).
• Included datasets: quadrat.df, point.df, quadrat2_plot.df, quadrat2_tree.df, quadrat3_rect.df.

• Initial internal version.
• Prototypes of the core functions for phytosociological analysis.
• Not submitted to CRAN.
