Given the dark respiration at the reference temperature 25 degress Celsius, this function calculates its temperature-scaling factor following Heskel et al. 2016.

A numeric value for \(fr\)
To correct for effects by temperature Heskel et al. 2016,
and given the reference temperature \(T0 =\) 25 deg C, this calculates the temperature
scaling factor to calculate dark respiration at temperature \(T\) (argument tc) as:
$$
fr = exp( 0.1012 (T0-T) - 0.0005(T0^2 - T^2) )
$$
where \(T\) is given in degrees Celsius.
