23  Build your process-based forecast

Project 2 challenges you to

• Either modify the process model to better represent an ecosystem process or include a new process that is missing, or
• Apply the process model to a new NEON site.

You are asked to provide a kitted R markdown (or Quarto) document with text, code, and plots following:

• Your forest process model
• Parameter estimation either using likelihood, Bayesian batch, or particle filter methods
• A 30-day ahead forecast using your model
