Dec 18, 2012 at 8:08	comment	added	whuber		The neighborhood shape is not typically chosen based on a feature's shape, @Fezter, but based on what kind of analysis is intended and how it will be interpreted. For instance, to create a summary of all landcover to the northeast of each point, you would need to use a southwest-pointing wedge terminating at the center of the neighborhood. Annuli are used to summarize conditions at various buffer distances from each point. A square differs from a circle by being closely tied to the coordinate system (making it a somewhat artificial (but handy) shape), whereas the circle is not so tied.

But, since tree canopies are, in general, roughly circular, then it seems reasonable that a circle would be appropriate. Maybe even a square, but probably not a wedge or an annulus.
