Description: Algorithms for the spatial stratification of landscapes,
        sampling and modeling of spatially-varying phenomena. These
        algorithms offer a simple framework for the stratification of
        geographic space based on raster layers representing landscape
        factors and/or factor scales. The stratification process
        follows a hierarchical approach, which is based on first level
        units (i.e., classification units) and second-level units
        (i.e., stratification units). Nonparametric techniques allow to
        measure the correspondence between the geographic space and the
        landscape configuration represented by the units. These
        correspondence metrics are useful to define sampling schemes
        and to model the spatial variability of environmental
        phenomena. The theoretical background of the algorithms and
        code examples are presented in Fuentes, Dorantes, and Tipton
        (2021). <doi:10.31223/X50S57>.
