demography

Introduction

demography is a sub-project of the BioForest project. It aims to analyse tree demographic rates (growth, mortality) in selectively logged forests and their relationship with tree biodiversity and composition, as well as abiotic factors (climate, soil, etc.).

Usage

All demography analyses rely on the quarto documents (files.qmd) that can be run with R and associated environment defined with renv.

Project

demography 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/ with:
  • All raw data in raw_data/
  • All derived data in derived_sata/
• Stan Bayesian models in models/
• Stan Bayesian models outputs in chains/
• R scripts with functions in r/
• Intermediary files in outputs/
• Figures in figures/
• 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 )
