Rainfall and streamflow from the catchments that feed Cape Town's major dams
The previous tutorial covered a bunch of the basics with some pretty straightforward data, and was more focused on how R works. Now we’ll be looking at slightly more complicated data (species data), which will require learning some fancier data handling.
A map of existing meteorological, hydrological and ecological datasets and infrastructure to assist with EFTEON proposals.
One of the biggest challenges of working on global change issues in South Africa is not having easy access to the country’s long-term weather records.
This tutorial relies on data provided as supplementary material for the paper Slingsby et al. 2017. Intensifying postfire weather and biological invasion drive species loss in a Mediterranean-type biodiversity hotspot. PNAS.
