Microxanox is an R package to simulate a three functional group system (cyanobacteria, phototrophic sulfur bacteria, and sulfate-reducing bacteria) with four chemical substrates (phosphorus, oxygen, reduced sulfur, and oxidized sulfur) using a set of ordinary differential equations. Simulations can be run individually or over a parameter range, to find stable states. The model features multiple species per functional group, where the number is only limited by computational constraints. The R package is constructed in such a way, that the results contain the input parameter used, so that a saved results can be loaded again and the simulation be repeated.
The easiest way (and the recommented way) to install microxanox is by using the R-Universe:
install.packages("microxanox", repos = c("https://uzh-peg.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org"))
The bleeding edge version can be installed from github:
You can also install the bleeding edge (sometimes non-stable) version fromthe github repository by using
remotes::install_github( "UZH-PEG/microxanox", ref = "dev", build_vignettes = TRUE, upgrade = FALSE)
