| SeriesLinearModel {SoilR} | R Documentation | 
This function creates a model for m number of pools connected in series. It
is a wrapper for the more general function GeneralModel.
SeriesLinearModel( t, m.pools, ki, Tij, C0, In, xi = 1, solver = deSolve.lsoda.wrapper, pass = FALSE )
t | 
 A vector containing the points in time where the solution is sought.  | 
m.pools | 
 An integer with the total number of pools in the model.  | 
ki | 
 A vector of length m containing the values of the decomposition rates for each pool i.  | 
Tij | 
 A vector of length m-1 with the transfer coefficients from pool j to pool i. The value of these coefficients must be in the range [0, 1].  | 
C0 | 
 A vector of length m containing the initial amount of carbon for the m pools.  | 
In | 
 A scalar or data.frame object specifying the amount of litter inputs by time.  | 
xi | 
 A scalar or data.frame object specifying the external (environmental and/or edaphic) effects on decomposition rates.  | 
solver | 
 A function that solves the system of ODEs. This can be
  | 
pass | 
 if TRUE Forces the constructor to create the model even if it is invalid  |
