Calculates the effects of temperature on decomposition rates according to the functions included in the RothC model.

1	fT.RothC(Temp)

Temp

A scalar or vector containing values of temperature for which the effects on decomposition rates are calculated.

A scalar or a vector containing the effects of temperature on decomposition rates (unitless).

This function returns NA for Temp <= -18.3
