In SoilR: Models of Soil Organic Matter Decomposition

Description

Calculates the effects of temperature on decomposition rates according to a function proposed by Lloyd and Taylor (1994).

Usage

fT.LandT(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).
