Description

Calculates the effects of temperature on decomposition rates according to a model proposed by Kirschbaum (1995).

Usage

fT.KB(Temp)

Arguments

Temp	a scalar or vector containing values of soil temperature for which the effects on decomposition rates are calculated

Value

A scalar or a vector containing the effects of temperature on decomposition rates (unitless).
