Description

Compute Soil Carbon Fluxes for the National Ecological Observatory Network Sites.

Acquires and synthesizes soil carbon fluxes at sites located in the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). Provides flux estimates and associated uncertainty as well as key environmental measurements (soil water, temperature, CO2 concentration) that are used to compute soil fluxes.

neonSoilFlux

neonSoilFlux is a repository code to acquire, tidy, and compute soil respiration fluxes at NEON sites using the flux-gradient method.

An online applet for visualization at select NEON sites is found here

Installation

Installation in R through:

  • CRAN: install.packages(neonSoilFlux)
  • Github using the devtools package:

devtools::install_github("jmzobitz/neonSoilFlux", build = TRUE, build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"),force=TRUE)

If you encounter problems with code in this repository, feel free to post an issue.

Usage

To analyze fluxes once the package is installed requires a two step process:

  1. Load up the tidyverse and lubridate libraries (library(tidyverse) and library(lubridate). We are heavily making use of dplyr and purrr, so this should get you covered.

  2. First acquire the NEON data, following conventions of loadByProduct function in the neonUtilities package. out_env_data <- acquire_neon_data(site_name = 'SJER', download_date = '2021-06', )

  3. Then process and compute fluxes. out_fluxes <- compute_neon_flux(input_site_env = out_env_data$site_data, input_site_megapit = out_env_data$site_megapit )

You now have a data frame of computed fluxes.

More detailed usage information is given in the vignette using-neonSoilFlux (vignette(using-neonSoilFlux)).
