Objectives:

1. Recreate plot (below) using data from the Luquillo Experimental Forest Long-Term Ecological Research project (LEF-LTER) found at:

McDowell, W. and International Institute of Tropical Forestry(IITF), USDA Forest Service.. 2022. Chemistry of stream water from the Luquillo Mountains ver 4923061. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/570231c2807a6396ced6a89ef7547bd4 (Accessed 2023-08-31). (Found in recreate_plot.qmd)

• Includes data wrangling from the four Bisley streams watersheds: MPR, BQ1, BQ2, BQ3
• Recreated graph using a nine-week rolling average

2. Define and explore our own question! (Found in question.qmd)

Question asked: How does temperature at each site affect nitrate and potassium concentrations?

Quarto document includes data exploration and preliminary plots on the effects of temperature on various parameters.
