Description

Processing data from respiration chambers.

Details

Main method is calcClosedChamberFlux, to calculate flux and its uncertainty from a time series of measurements.

A first set of functions correct measured CO2 concentrations and fluxes for environmental and chamber properties.

  • Dilution with water vapor: corrConcDilution

  • Changing air density with pressure and temperature: corrFluxDensity

  • Leakage of the chamber: corrFluxLeakage

A second set of functions estimates the flux and its uncertainty from the concentrations.

  • Aggregating estimates: calcClosedChamberFlux

  • Select the subset of data after lagTime: selectDataAfterLag

  • Estimate the initial flux by polynomial regression: regressFluxExp

  • Estimate uncertainty of regression due to leverage of starting and end points: sigmaBootLeverage

  • Convert from mumol CO2/s to g C/day: convert_mumolPers_to_gPerday and back: convert_gPerday_to_mumolPers

Further misc functionality:

  • Reading files generated by data-loggers into R: readDat and read81xVar

  • Plotting the time series and the resulting best fit: plotResp

  • Plotting measurement time versus resulting standard error of the flux estimate: plotDurationUncertainty

  • Computing volume and surface area of common chamber geometries: calcChamberGeometryCuboid

Working with a time series of several measurement cycles (see vignette)

  • identifying contiguous measurement cycles: subsetContiguous

  • apply the fitting to all measurement cycles: calcClosedChamberFluxForChunks

  • Plotting all time series and fits: plotCampaignConcSeries

Also have a look at the package vignettes.
