Global-Late-Blight (Meta)Modelling

These files contain the GitHub repository of R Scripts and supporting data for creating metamodels, as published in Ecosphere, and using them to generate global estimates of potato late blight risk based on climate data as published in Global Change Biology. The metamodelling approach can be found in Sparks, A. H., Forbes, G. A., Hijmans, R. J., & Garrett, K. A. (2011). A metamodeling framework for extending the application domain of process-based ecological models. Ecosphere, 2(8), art90. doi:10.1890/ES11-00128.1. The study for which these models were developed can be found in Sparks, A. H., Forbes, G. A, Hijmans, R. J., & Garrett K. A. (2014).
