Calculate the total biomass for given parameter values for PLB model

Description

Calculate the total biomass (in same units as xmin or nondimensionalised and scaled to xmin) for given values of b (in the vector bvec), n and either both xmin and xmax or just r.

Usage

totalBiomass(bvec, r = NULL, xmin = NULL, xmax = NULL, n = 1000)

Arguments

bvec	vector of size-spectrum exponents (values of b)
r	ratio of xmax/xmin. Need to specificy r or xmin and xmax, all scalars.
xmin	minimum allowable body size
xmax	maximum allowable body size
n	number of individuals

Value

vector of total biomass values corresponding to the values of b in bvec; total biomass has same units as xmin (if xmin and xmax specified), or is nondimensional if r is specified.
