Overview
secpRod is an open source package for the analysis and calculation of secondary production for populations and communities in R. secpRod uses data from repeated sampling of population abundance and size structure in a tall data structure and a taxon information sheet as the base objects. In addition to estimating secondary production for communities with multiple methods, secpRod also allows the user to visualize population data to assess best methods for secondary production estimation.
Installation
# To install the latest version Github:
# install.packges('devtools')
devtools::install_github("jimjunker1/secpRod")
Workflow
sequence of actions for calculation of community secondary production
split taxa by production method
convert length to mass
determine date wrap around
split taxa into bootstrapped sample lists
run production methods
Functions
calc_production
is the main function. This function estimates bootstrapped secondary production from multiple methods determined in the taxaInfo
object.
