Convert Biovolume to Carbon for Large Diatoms
Description
This function converts biovolume in microns^3 to carbon in picograms for large diatoms (> 2000 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 = -0.933 and b = 0.881 for diatoms > 3000 um^3.
Usage
vol2C_lgdiatom(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 large diatoms
vol2C_lgdiatom(volume)
