The year 2023 started with a better understanding of the research project I am currently involved in as a post-doc at Auburn University. I am involved in a research project that aims at colocating agricultural crops with a solar energy generation system–also called as agrivoltaic system–to meet dual purpose of food and energy production and reduce carbon emission from fossil fuels and coals. Even though I was supposed to design an economic optimization model, delay on the data acquisition shifted my focus towards solar developers survey design. I started designing survey from February. The initial plan was to develop choice…

Title: Economic returns and the perceived obstacles to adopting active management in the forest-grassland transition ecoregion in south-central USA. Authors: Bijesh Mishra, Omkar Joshi, Ronald E. Masters, Caleb McKinney, Arjun Adhikari, Chris B. Zou, Rodney E. Will Highlights: Abstract: Forest-grassland ecotones are a mosaic of grassland, savanna, and upland forest. As such, landowners may have opportunities to choose to manage their lands for multiple objectives. We estimated the economic returns from managing forest and rangeland in southeastern Oklahoma, USA to produce different combinations of timber, cattle forage, and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann) browse for a 40-year period. We further conducted…
In this post, I am cleaning data available in very messy .txt file and saving clean data as .csv file in local directory for the future use. This post is partially inspired by a request from a student to help in cleaning their research project data.To accomplish objective metioned above, I am using .txt file from 2022 Release – North American Breeding Bird Survey Dataset (1996-2021). This data was published on 2022-07-05 and accessed on May 19, 2023. You can fild “SpeciesList.txt” data by scrolling through the midway of the webpage. Open this file in new tab by clicking file…
