term "growth", which is actually "change in biomass over time" (i.e.,
dB/dt). (2) I do want to explicitely use the
I am trying to make an application of the Brown et al. (2004) formulation
for the metabolic theory of ecology to growth data, but I am getting
tripped up on the term for temperature dependence. According to them, I
should be able to model growth as:
growth = G0*M^-0.25*exp(-E/kT)
where G0 is
