fT.Century1(Temp, Tmax = 45, Topt = 35)
Temp |
A scalar or vector containing values of temperature for which the effects on decomposition rates are calculated. |
Tmax |
A scalar defining the maximum temperature in degrees C. |
Topt |
A scalar defining the optimum temperature for the decomposition process in degrees C. |
A scalar or a vector containing the effects of temperature on decomposition rates (unitless).
