R Code to analyze and process soil respiration fluxes at NEON sites

NEONSoils

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

This is an early prototype package and should not be used for research purposes until scientifically validated.

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

Installation

Installation in R is done through the devtools package:

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

Usage

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

1. First acquire the NEON data, following conventions of loadByProduct function in the neonUtilities package. acquire_neon_data(site_name ="SJER", start_date = "2020-06", end_date = "2020-06", file_name = "my-file-2020-06.Rda")

2. Then process and compute fluxes. out_fluxes_jan <- compute_neon_flux("my-file-2020-06.Rda")
