Introduction

species is a sub-project of the BioForest project aimed at species related data (correct names, functional traits, phylogeny) as part of the data preparation for data preparation within the project.

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

Project

species includes:

  • Analyse of the data with associated documentation and figures:
    • Reproductive 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/
  • R scripts with funtions 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/)
