Maintenance respiration rate (t ha-1 d-1) is depending on Tmean (°C) through the Q10 coefficient, according to Liu and Bull (2001):

where RespQ10 is a species parameter expressing the fractional increase in respiration rate per 10°C rise in temperature, Respcon (t t-1 d-1) is species parameter (maintenance respiration reference temperature of 10°C, and TotDM (t ha-1) is total dry biomass.
