Bidabe Model
Description
Quantifies the chill accumulation by means of converting temperatures to temperature coeficients (Q10).
Usage
q10_bidabe(x, total = TRUE)
Arguments
x |
Vector containing temperature values (Celsius-degree). |
total |
TRUE Shows the total value of accumulation, FALSE shows the value of chill-unit for each temperature (TRUE is default). |
Details
The model is based on temperature coeficients (Q10). The Q10 coeficient is variable for each specie. The model contains dinamic variables. This model is been aplied in the warm climates. Was based on an exponential function that decreases according to the increase in temperature.
Value
The function returns values for each temperature of vector (Total = FALSE), or returns the accumulation (Total = TRUE).
