Balance the detritus resource

Mizer calls a balance_<resource_dynamics>() function whenever it restores a resource, to adjust the resource rate or the resource capacity so that the stored resource abundance is a steady state of the resource dynamics. It warns when no such function exists, because a custom resource would then silently come back off its own fixed point.

Usage

balance_detritus_dynamics(
  params,
  resource_rate = NULL,
  resource_capacity = NULL
)

Arguments

params

A mizerShelf params object.

resource_rate

The resource rate requested by the caller, or NULL to keep the stored one.

resource_capacity

The resource capacity requested by the caller, or NULL to keep the stored one.

Value

A list with entries resource_rate and resource_capacity.

Details

detritus_dynamics() reads neither the resource rate rr_pp nor the resource capacity cc_pp: the detritus is held at a fixed power law whose total biomass follows a production-minus-consumption balance. There is therefore nothing for mizer to balance, and this function returns both unchanged. What does make the stored detritus abundance a steady state is the external detritus inflow other_params(params)$detritus$external, which is set by tune_carrion_detritus().
