TPC: Gaussian-Quadratic Function Thermal Performance Curve

In trenchproject/TrenchR: Tools for Microclimate and Biophysical Ecology

Gaussian-Quadratic Function Thermal Performance Curve

Description

The function constructs a thermal performance curve by combining as a Gaussian function to describe the rise in performance up to the optimal temperature and a quadratic decline to zero performance at critical thermal maxima and higher temperatures \insertCiteDeutsch2008TrenchR.

Usage

TPC(T_b, T_opt, CT_min, CT_max)

Arguments

T_b	numeric vector of temperature range (C).
T_opt	numeric thermal optima (C), the temperature at which peak performance occurs.
CT_min, CT_max	numeric critical thermal minimum and maximum (C), the lower and upper temperature limits for performance.

Value

performance
