The isobxr package is a set of R tools designed to perform and explore stable isotope box modelling of open or closed systems. It allows users to develop isotopic box models of their system of interest, explore the behavior of these systems in both static (e.g., at steady state) or dynamic modes (e.g., in reaction to a perturbation) and build complex scenarios.
The package also comes with tools to sweep the space of parameters in both static and dynamic modes, and find the parameter values allowing to fit simulations with observations.
Check the isobxr website for more information on isobxr and introduction to its rationale.
