#' GREENeR: Geospatial Regression Equation for European Nutrient Losses
#'
#'
#' The package provides tools and methods to apply the model Geospatial
#' Regression Equation for European Nutrient losses (GREEN;
#' Grizzetti et al. (2005); Grizzetti et al. (2012); Grizzetti et al. (2021)) to
#' an area of interest in R environment. The package comprises functions for
#' assessing annual nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) loads from a basin or
#' region of interest, land and river retention, and contribution shares by
#' sources. A brief description of the model, including sources and parameters,
#' can be found at the end of this document. Further, the package includes
#' functions for loading spatio-temporal data , calibrating basin parameters,
#' performing an advanced sensitivity analysis to evaluate the calibration
#' results, and visualizing model inputs and outputs through plots and maps.
#' The package is parallel-capable to alleviate the computational burden in
#' large basins.
