Description
Summary:This script was created to facilitate analysis of data (see data publication) pertaining to the publication: Jongejans, L. L., Strauss, J., Lenz, J., Peterse, F., Mangelsdorf, K., Fuchs, M. and Grosse, G. (2018). Organic matter characteristics in yedoma and thermokarst deposits on Baldwin Peninsula, west Alaska. Biogeosciences 15, 6033-6048. doi:10.5194/bg-15-6033-2018. The input data stem from sediment samples taken from two permafrost exposures in west Alaska. The input parameters are total organic carbon content, bulk density, wedge ice volume, deposit thickness and coverage. The script calculates the organic carbon storage of the permafrost sediments using a bootstrapping approach. The script was written for statistical software R (version 3.6.1). The current code and the required files are available on GitHub.
