R code to fit a piecewise structural equation model

# Data structure:

    # glacier: glacier foreland identity
    # age: site age (within each foreland)
    # site: site name
    # point: measurement point (within each site)
    # lon: coordinates (WGS84, degrees)
    # lat
    # elev: elevation (m a.s.l.)
    # airT_er: air temperature (Celsius degree)
    # sRad_nee: solar irradiance (W/m2)
    # er: ecosystem respiration (umol/m2/s)
    # gpp: gross primary productivity (umol/m2/s)
    # imputed: imputed flux, based on the average value for the plot (in case of missing e.g., airT)
    # gfc: green fractional cover (%)
    # ndvi: normalized difference vegetation index (sentinel2, 10 m resolution)
    # vheight: vegetation height (cm)
    # pc1: axes 1 from the PCA on PFTs (42.8%) - positive = high prop of unvegetated vs negative = high prop of graminoids and Fabaceae
    # pc2: axes 2 from the PCA on PFTs (25.9%) - positive = high prop of mosses and lichens vs negative = high prop of non-Fabaceae forbs
