STModel-Data

Getting started

1. Download repository

git clone git@github.com:TheoreticalEcosystemEcology/STModel-Data.git
cd STModel-Data

2. Install R dependencies

Rscript install_dependencies.r

Note for mac users: this may fail if pg_config is not in your path. If so, you need to install psql first. This is easiest with macports:

sudo port install postgresql93
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/postgresql93/bin/* /opt/local/bin
Rscript install_dependencies.r

3. Get all datasets

Localy:
make -j all
Remotely:

If you want to get the data and you are not at UQAR or connected by wired, please follow this procedure:

  1. Modify con_quicc_db.r to:
require("RPostgreSQL")

dbname <- "db_quicc_for"
dbhost <- "127.0.0.1"
dbport <- 55432
  1. Open the VPN tunnel:

    • Open the web page: https://eduvpn.uqar.ca.
    • Login with your UQAR account (e.g. viss0001 is my username)
    • Click on the icon «BD PostgreSQL SRBD04».
    • The tunnel to the QUICCFOR DB is open.
  2. Run make -j all

Alternatively: Retrieve dataset separately

Get only tree data: make treeData

Get only climatic data: make climData

Get only plot info data: make plotInfoData

Get only STM past-climate grid input (1970-2000): make STMClimate_grid Use to run STM on the past-climate

Get only SDM past-climate grid input (1970-2000): make SDMClimate_grid Used to project SDM

Retrieve shapefile of the study area (Lakes and boundaries): make SHP_area

Reshaping script

The reshape script comes in two parts, the first, reshape/reshapeStates.r computes the states, and the second, reshape/reshapeTransitions.r computes transitions between states. In general, use the makefile, either with make -j all or make -j reshape to run the scripts (which will use default options). The most important option, setting the threshold basal area for the R state, can be changed by editing the variable at the beginning of the makefile. To see other options and change them, run the scripts using Rscript. Start with:

Rscript reshape/reshapeStates.r --help
Rscript reshape/reshapeTransitions.r --help

to get information on the options. There is an additional script, reshape/reshapeClimTest.r, that does some testing. See its help for more information. Finally, note that the file reshape/tmpStateData_r$N.rdata, where $N is the cutoff for the R state, is a temporary file that should not be used. The correct output file, assuming default options, is out_files/transitions_r$N.rdata.

Defaults:

  • threshold basal area for determining the R state: 1 (change in makefile or with -r option)
  • climate variables for transitions: annual mean temperature, annual precipitation
  • output file: transitions_r1.rdata, where the number will be the r threshold

A rough outline of what the script does:

  • Read coarse data from the treeData.csv, plotInfoData.csv, and climData.csv files produced by the sql queries.
  • Collapse the tree data into a single state for each year sampled in each plot, using species lists specified in the script.
  • Merge the collapsed data with the plotInfoData (to get lat/long)
  • Merge this with the climate data into stateData. This is a dataframe with one row for each unique plot-year combination. This will output warnings if there are missing records in the climate or state data; do not ignore these warnings!
  • Output some basic summary statistics on the states
  • reshapes the sample data into a transition data frame, containing columns for the measurement years, the states, and the mean of the 2 climate variables
  • drop all rows from both the transition and state objects containing a U state
  • scale the climate variables in the transition data frame
  • print the transition table to the console
  • save the state and the transition objects, and the transformation for the climate variables, into a single .rdata file
