Explore NEON Data on nitrate level and water temperature of 3 different rivers in the US during 12 months (2023)

Tidy datasets • Interactive Shiny App • Reproducible workflow


The nitratoR package provides clean and ready-to-use water-quality data from three NEON stream sites — Arikaree (ARIK), Caribou (CARI), and Lewis Run (LEWI) — collected during 2023.
It includes:

  • nitrate_tidy: monthly nitrate concentrations (µmol/L)

  • temp_tidy: monthly surface-water temperatures (°C)

  • monthly_median(): a simple helper to extract a site-month median

  • launch_app(): an interactive Shiny dashboard to explore patterns visually

The package was created for learning and communication purposes — showing how to build, document, and deploy an R package with integrated data, functions, and a Shiny app.
