| Andres2016 {soilfoodwebs} | R Documentation |
The soil food webs published for grazed and ungrazed plots in the Shortgrass Steppe long-term research station.
Description
The community contains 21 nodes in bacterial, fungal, and root energy channels.
Usage
Andres2016
Format
A list of six communities each with a feeding matrix and properties dataframe. NOTE: You must select one of the communities from the list to use the package functions. For example: comana(Andres2016$GA) carries out calculations for the GA plot.
- GA
The grazed plot A.
- UGA
The ungrazed plot A.
- GB
The grazed plot B.
- UGB
The ungrazed plot B.
- GC
The grazed plot C.
- UGC
The ungrazed plot C.
- imat
Within the community: The feeding matrix. Rows eat columns.
- prop
Within the community: The properties data frame containing node names (ID), assimilation efficiency (a), production efficiency(p), C:N ratio (CN), biomass (B), death rate (d), proportion of death cycled back to a detrital pool (DetritusRecycling), Booleans stating whether the node is detritus, plant, and can immobilize nitrogen, and a list of mutual predators. Biomass is in kilograms of carbon per hectare and turnover/death rate is in years.
