)A data frame with limitation due to water potential (MatricLimit), limitation due to oxygen diffusion (DiffuseLimit), and the overall limitation of moisture on decomposition rates (MoistDecayIndex).
A scalar or vector containing values of moisture content of a litter or soil pool (%).
A scalar that determines when matric limit is reduced to the point that decay can begin to occur.
A scalar used to offset the curve to the left or right.
A scalar determining the minimum moisture content.
A scalar determining the maximum moisture content without diffusion limitations.
A scalar that determines the range of moisture contents where diffusion is not limiting.
A scalar used to shift the point when moisture begins to limit diffusion.
