Welcome to the Tree-mendous Smoulder Squad repository, an integral part of ESIIL and Earth Lab's Forest Carbon Codefest. This repository is the central hub for our team, encompassing our project overview, team member information, codebase, and more...
The Tree-mendous Smoulder Squad is interested in exploring disruption events in high-altitude forests, specifically insects and wildfires. We will quantify the diversity or forest type before and after each event, and ultimately the affect on carbon storage and sequestration.
