Introduction

marikina_carbon explores changes in forest cover and carbon density in the Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape (UMRBPL). The project also compiles a dataset of spatially explicit independent variables used to model changes in aboveground carbon distribution in the UMRBPL.

marikina_carbon includes:

  • Analyse of the data with associated documentation and figures:
    • Reproducible analyses in files.qmd
    • Resulting pages in docs/
    • Document structure definition in _quarto.yml
  • Data in data/
  • R scripts with functions in r/
  • R environment definition with renv in renv/ and renv/lock
  • R files (.Rbuildignore , .Rdata , .Rprofile , .Rhistory, .lintr)
  • Git and GitHub files (.gitignore , .github/)
  • Project documentation (README.qmd , README.md , NEWS.md, LICENSE )
