vol2C_nondiatom {iRfcb} | R Documentation |
Convert Biovolume to Carbon for Non-Diatom Protists
Description
This function converts biovolume in microns^3 to carbon in picograms for protists besides large diatoms (> 3000 micron^3) according to Menden-Deuer and Lessard 2000. The formula used is: log pgC cell^-1 = log a + b * log V (um^3), with log a = -0.665 and b = 0.939.
Usage
vol2C_nondiatom(volume)
Arguments
volume |
A numeric vector of biovolume measurements in microns^3. |
Value
A numeric vector of carbon measurements in picograms.
Examples
# Volumes in microns^3
volume <- c(5000, 10000, 20000)
# Convert biovolume to carbon for non-diatom protists
vol2C_nondiatom(volume)
