Theisobxrpackage is a set of R tools designed to perform and explore stableisotope box modelling of open or closed systems. It allows users todevelop isotopic box models of their system of interest, explore thebehavior of these systems in both static (e.g., at steadystate) or dynamic modes (e.g., in reaction to a perturbation)and build complex scenarios.
The package also comes with tools to sweep the space of parameters inboth static and dynamic modes, and find the parameter values allowing tofit simulations with observations.

The isobxr package is now on theCRAN (Comprehensive R ArchiveNetwork) and can be found on itsisobxr CRANpage.
It is available as a released package and can be installed directlyfrom CRAN by calling:
install.packages("isobxr")Theisobxr package isavailable as a source package in its development version from theGitHub isobxr masterrepository.
