Yes, EcoCommons notebooks are open-source, allowing you to modify the code to suit your specific research needs and data requirements. You can adjust model parameters, swap out environmental variables, and integrate your own datasets to customize the analysis.
The notebooks are designed with flexibility in mind, so you can edit the code directly within RStudio or Jupyter, depending on the notebook type. For example, you can modify spatial resolution, projection settings, and model algorithms to better reflect the ecological conditions of your study area.
Additionally, you can add new visualizations, tweak statistical outputs, and refine predictive models to address your unique research questions. If you encounter challenges while modifying the code, EcoCommons provides documentation and GitHub support to help you troubleshoot and implement changes effectively.
