Biomass distribution function from MEE equations A.4 and A.8

Description

Total biomass between xmin and x, assuming a bounded power-law distribution of body masses between xmin and xmax and a given value of exponent b, and a total of n individuals. Given by MEE equations A.4 and A.8. Can then be called by pBiomassBins to give total biomass (and normalised biomass) in each bin.

Usage

pBiomass(x, b, xmin, xmax, n)

Arguments

x

vector of values for which to calculate the total biomass between xmin and the value

b

exponent of the PLB distribution

xmin

minimum bound of the distribution, xmin > 0

xmax

maximum bound for bounded distribution, xmax > xmin

Value

returns of vector total biomass between xmin and each value of x
