Annual ICBM re_clim rate-modifying factor: a Ratkowsky-type temperature response and a piecewise volumetric-moisture response, multiplied and rescaled to the Swedish Ultuna reference site, averaged over the supplied series.

Usage

soc_rate_modifier_icbm(temp_c, theta, t_field, t_wilt, porosity)

Arguments

temp_c

Numeric soil (or air-proxy) temperature series (degrees Celsius).

theta

Numeric volumetric soil water content series (fraction).

t_field

Field-capacity volumetric water content (fraction).

t_wilt

Wilting-point volumetric water content (fraction).

porosity

Soil porosity (fraction).

Value

The annual mean of the monthly re_clim values (a single numeric).

Examples

soc_rate_modifier_icbm(
  temp_c = c(5, 15, 25),
  theta = c(0.20, 0.25, 0.30),
  t_field = 0.30,
  t_wilt = 0.10,
  porosity = 0.45
