title: 'MBHdesign: Spatial Designs for Ecological and Environmental Surveys'
version: 2.3.20
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.MBHdesign
abstract: 'Provides spatially survey balanced designs. Information about the package
  itself is given in Foster (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13535>. Designs
  using MBHdesign can: 1) accommodate, without substantial detrimental effects on
  spatial balance, legacy sites (Foster et al., 2017 <https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.12782>);
  2) be based on points or transects (foster et al. 2020 <https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13321>
  and produce clustered samples (Foster et al. (in press). The base idea that these
  designs stem from is the quasi-random number method described Robinson et al. (2013)
  <https://doi.org/10.1111/biom.12059> and adjusted in Robinson et al. (2017) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spl.2017.05.004>.'
