#' Calculate NUEecology
#' @description
#' The product of N productivity and the mean residency time (MRT) of plant N.
#' Calculate NUEecology using the formula: ecoNUE = NP * MRT
#' @param NP Nitrogen Productivity Value
#' @param MRT Mean Residency Time value
#' @returns The calculated ecoNUE value.
#' @examples
#' NP <- 33.63571
#' MRT <- 1.009715
#' ecoNUE(NP, MRT)
