Generation of Vegetation Sampling Areas
Premise:
We need some randomly selected areas for performing a vegetation survey. Two possible approaches are given: random selection of grid cells from a 7x7 grid superimposed over the region of interest, and random generation of 100x100 meter blocks which meet certain criteria on how close they can be from each other and the edges of the region. The region and grid files are attached at the bottom of this page.

Additional Example: Compute 3 blocks per "half" of the watershed.
