cropCalendars

R-package for simulating crop calendars and their adaptation following the approaches from Waha et al. (2012) and Minoli et al. (2019).

Installation

git clone https://github.com/AgMIP-GGCMI/cropCalendars.git .
cd ..
R CMD build cropCalendars
# this generates e.g. cropCalendars_0.1.0.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL [-l my/Rlib/path] cropCalendars_0.1.0.tar.gz

Alternative in R with devtools

library(devtools)
devtools::build()
devtools::install()

Usage

See examples in ./utils

library(cropCalendars)

# Main functions
climate <- calcMonthlyClimate()
crop_calendars <- calcCropCalendars()
phenological_heat_units <- calcPHU()
