Analyzing soil food webs or any food web measured at equilibrium. The package calculates carbon and nitrogen fluxes and stability properties using methods described by Hunt et al. (1987) <doi:10.1007/BF00260580>, de Ruiter et al. (1995) <doi:10.1126/science.269.5228.1257>, Holtkamp et al. (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.soilbio.2010.10.004>, and Buchkowski and Lindo (2021) <doi:10.1111/1365-2435.13706>. The package can also manipulate the structure of the food web as well as simulate food webs away from equilibrium and run decomposition experiments.
