In shelltrace: Bivalve Growth and Trace Element Accumulation Model

Description

Formula that takes the modelled volume of a bivalve shell by sub-increment and calculates mass increase using variable shell density. de Winter, N. J. (2017) <doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137>

Usage

Oyster_Mass_gain(subincr_matrix, phase_mat, phases)

Arguments

subincr_matrix	Data frame that contains characteristics of every sub-increment
phase_mat	Matrix of amounts of pixels of each phase per sub-increment
phases	Matrix containing colour, density and trace element data of the phases in the XRF phase map

Details

Calculates mass gain from modelled changes in volume based on the shell density

Value

subincr_matrix

Updated data frame that contains characteristics of every sub-increment with modelled shell mass calculations added to the matrix
