Calculate the proportion of fibers in a microplastic particle collective

Description

This functions computes the proportion of fibers in a microplastic particle collective.We use one of two different shape descriptors as a criterion. For an aspect ratio larger than 3 MP is considered a fiber based on Cole (2016). This is equal to an elongation larger than 2/3.Note that elongation must be calculated according to Crompton (2005).

Usage

calc_proportion_ofFibers(shape, criterion = "elon")

Arguments

shape

A character string to select the vector that contains either aspect ratio or elongation values.

criterion

A character string indicating whether aspect ratio or elongation should be used to calculate the proportion. Must be either "asp" or "elon". Default is "elon".

data

A data frame that will be manipulated.
