The USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station manages and collects data from the Santee Experimental Forest located in the Francis Marion National Forest in South Carolina. Watershed 77 is located within the Santee EF and is currently being used to study forest treatment effects on forest production and effects of longleaf pine conversion on water resources and carbon squestration. This repository contains scripts written in jupyter notebook to create shapefiles, combine data, perform calculations, and generate data visualization of the treatment watershed (ws77) and the reference watershed (ws80). Scripts include step by step instructions for the non-programmer. This project was funded and managed by the College of Charleston, SC and the USDA-FS-SRS.
