Function swifco_rs::systems::carcasses::seasonal_decay

fn seasonal_decay(
    durations: Option<Vec<u32>>, 
    within_core: Option<f64>
) -> SystemWrapper

seasonal_decay( durations=[12, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 4, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12], within_core=0.05, )

Carcass decay with seasonal variations in speed of decay.

Carcass persistence is seasonal, with persistence times determined by the durations parameters.

To always reflect the current persistence, each carcass has a persistence score, which starts with 1.0 and is decreased by every step. The carcass is removed when the score reaches 0.0.

Parameters:

durations - duration of carcass presence in ticks for each month of the year (default value based on [Ray_2014]_)

within_core - probability of placing carcass in core of habitat cell
