Biomass Succession expresses MortalityCurve as a position in the lifespan, not as a rate: v7 User Guide 2.12.4 states that 5 puts the onset of age-related mortality at 10% of life span and 25 puts it at 85%. This inverts that definition, linearly between the two documented endpoints.

Usage

growth_mortality_onset_frac(mort_shp)

Arguments

mort_shp

Numeric MortalityCurve, 5 to 25.

Value

Numeric fraction of longevity, 0.10 to 0.85.

Details

The parameter therefore carries no absolute meaning without the longevity it sits beside, which is why a value cannot be lifted from one parameterisation into another with a different lifespan.
