LGenzoli/Mck-Fire-Archive: Riverine metabolism response to wildfire debris flows

Code and data in this release was used to estimate daily riverine metabolism and analyze the changes that occurred during and after a high-severity wildfire and heavy rains that triggered debris flows into the Klamath River, California. We used high frequency dissolved oxygen and water temperature data from the Karuk Tribe to model ecosystem metabolism daily from May 2018 through December 2023 to document how the wildfire debris flow affected riverine ecosystem metabolism, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen levels. This repository includes code and data used to estimate daily river metabolism for 5.5 y, assess the reliability of metabolism estimates, estimate river depth for scaling metabolism estimates, model changes to metabolism, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen, and to create the final set of plots for publication. Some raw data for metabolism calculations is held by the Karuk Tribe and only accessible via direct contact with their natural resource program, and thus not shared here.
