Calculates the effects of temperature on decomposition rates according to the StandCarb model.

1	fT.Standcarb(Temp, Topt = 45, Tlag = 4, Tshape = 15, Q10 = 2)

`Temp`	A scalar or vector containing values of temperature for which the effects on decomposition rates are calculated.
`Topt`	A scalar representing the optimum temperature for decomposition.
`Tlag`	A scalar that determines the lag of the response curve.
`Tshape`	A scalar that determines the shape of the response curve.
`Q10`	A scalar. Temperature coefficient Q10.

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