Analysis of eReefs water quality scenarios to assess implications of land management for the CoTS initiation zone
R scripts and data files used to process, analyse and visualise eReefs catchment counter-factual scenario model data for the paper, "Kroon, Frederieke J., Joseph R. Crosswell, and Barbara J. Robson. The effect of catchment load reductions on water quality in the crown-of-thorn starfish outbreak initiation zone. Marine Pollution Bulletin 195 (2023): 115255."
Four R scripts are included:
cots1.R extracts all data from the eReefs model scenario outputs and produces an R data file for each scenario. These intermediate data files are not provided but can be re-created using this script and the original eReefs model data.
cots_reprocess.R puts all six scenarios into one combined dataframe and produces daily_values_all_scenarios3.rda or daily_values_all_scenarios3_large.rda, depending on settings. These intermediate data files are not provided.
ccip_salinity.R extracts salinity from the baseline scenario and adds it to the dataframe for all scenarios, producing daily_values_all_scenarios4.rda or daily_values_all_scenarios4_large.rda, depending on settings. These final data files are provided.
cots_analysis.R produces the figures and tables used in the manuscript.
Data used come from eReefs model counter-factual scenarios produced by CSIRO and available from https://dapds00.nci.org.au/thredds/catalogs/fx3/catalog.html
