Oyster_Mass_gain {shelltrace}

Formula that calculates mass increase of bivalve shell with time

Description

Formula that takes the modelled volume of a bivalve shell by sub-increment and calculates mass increase using variable shell density. de Winter, N. J. (2017) <doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137>

Usage

Oyster_Mass_gain(subincr_matrix, phase_mat, phases)

Arguments

subincr_matrix

Data frame that contains characteristics of every sub-increment

phase_mat

Matrix of amounts of pixels of each phase per sub-increment

phases

Matrix containing colour, density and trace element data of the phases in the XRF phase map

Details

Calculates mass gain from modelled changes in volume based on the shell density

Value

subincr_matrix

Updated data frame that contains characteristics of every sub-increment with modelled shell mass calculations added to the matrix
