Koltz2018

The community contains 41 nodes in bacterial, fungal, and root energy channels. One node has zero biomass and is removed by the check_comm() function.

datasets

Analyzing soil food webs or any food web measured at equilibrium. The package
calculates carbon and nitrogen fluxes and stability properties using methods
described by Hunt et al. (1987) <doi:10.1007/BF00260580>, de Ruiter et al.
(1995) <doi:10.1126/science.269.5228.1257>, Holtkamp et al. (2011)
<doi:10.1016/j.soilbio.2010.10.004>, and Buchkowski and Lindo (2021)
<doi:10.1111/1365-2435.13706>. The package can also manipulate the structure
of the food web as well as simulate food webs away from equilibrium and run
decomposition experiments.

Koltz2018 function

A community with a feeding matrix and properties dataframe:<dl>
 <dt>imat</dt>
<dd>The feeding matrix. Rows eat columns.</dd> <dt>prop</dt>
<dd>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 milligrams of carbon per square meter and turnover/death rate is in years.</dd>
