In flux: Flux Rate Calculation from Dynamic Closed Chamber Measurements

Flux rate estimation with dynamic closed chamber data

Description

Several functions for the estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) flux rates using closed chamber concentration measurements. The package follows a modular concept: Fluxes can be calculated in just two simple steps or in several steps if more control is wanted. Functions for further analyses (GPP and Reco model fitting and prediction for budgets including error terms) are also available.

Obtain flux rates from many chamber measurements within minutes. After preparing the read in data (Field or device measured concentration data on the three most prominent greenhouse gases) with chop just run flux or fluxx (for medium frequency data) on the result returned by chop and get flux rates in an easy to interpret table including quality flags. Plot diagnostic plots as pdf per factor level to a folder or simply to the screen. Use gpp to model GPP and reco to model ecosystem respiration or use gpp.bulk to bulk model GPP and reco.bulk to bulk model R_eco and use the resulting objects with budget.gpp and budget.reco, respectively, to predict fluxes using continuously logged data. Use budget.ie to estimate the uncertainty associated with the interpolation between models. Several helper functions for ghg analysis are also provided.
