Objectives
Understand the changes in performance of global marine reserves under climate change in terms of biomass
Steps
1.- Take the world’s MPA dataset
2.- Use both pre-industrial climatology and projected scenarios (2 runs) with fishing effort
3.- Compute the “temperature of emergence”
4.- Temperature by witch compound projected signal will emerge in each marine reserve
Repository structure
-
Data, repository containing data needed for analysis
- Spatial, related to spatial analysis
-
Funtions, global functions needed for analysis
-
Results, partial results from analysis
-
Scripts, main analysis scripts
- data_preparation.Rmd, works on the MPA shapefile
- test_dbem_runs.Rmd, test runs in the MPA to make sure all is working
