fluxible: Ecosystem Gas Fluxes Calculations for Closed Loop Chamber Setup

Toolbox to process raw data from closed loop flux chamber (or tent) setups into ecosystem gas fluxes usable for analysis. It goes from a data frame of gas concentration over time (which can contain several measurements) and a meta data file indicating which measurement was done when, to a data frame of ecosystem gas fluxes including quality diagnostics. Organized with one function per step, maximizing user flexibility and backwards compatibility. Different models to estimate the fluxes from the raw data are available: exponential as described in Zhao et al (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.08.022>, exponential as described in Hutchinson and Mosier (1981) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1981.03615995004500020017x>, quadratic, and linear. Other functions include quality assessment, plotting for visual check, calculation of fluxes based on the setup specific parameters (chamber size, plot area, ...), gross primary production and transpiration rate calculation, and light response curves.
