Are there any packages that involve changes in the biomass of decomposers and detritus?

[Yokelison]

Can you give me some advice? Thank you so much for your help!!!

[Yokelison]

Or, what I would like to know is: is there any way to introduce the equations for these two types of biomass dynamics into the END package that is available now? Modify the existing package to introduce biomass changes for decomposers and detritus.

Why is it cannot to assign growth rates to non-producers

In theory, it is possible. In practice, it is difficult for now. We are currently refactoring the internals of the package, which implies to delay the implementation of new features. But, in the long-term, it would be very cool to add recycling through decomposers and detritus.

Because the bioenergetic model the flux of energy (or biomass) through the web. Thus, the growth of basal species indicate that these species convert abiotic sources of energy into their own biomass (that is, autotrophy). Conversely, consumers cannot do so and only gain biomass by feeding on other species (that is, heterotrophy).

I hope that this helps you.

Thank you very much for your answer, which gave me a lot of help. In my opinion: The total biomass of different consumer populations can also be increased through the self-reproduction of the population, and the formula in the relevant papers of this package also contains the term of the growth of species itself, r i * B i * G i, where r i refers to the growth rate of species i, which should not be limited to producers. Do you think my argument is reasonable?Thank you for your patience发自我的 iPhone在 2024年10月30日，22:32，Ismaël Lajaaiti ***@***.***> 写道： is there any way to introduce the equations for these two types of biomass dynamics into the END package that is available now?
