C3 temperature response parameters from Bernacchi et al.
c3_temperature_param_bernacchi.RdParameters describing the temperature response of important C3 photosynthetic
parameters, intended to be passed to the
calculate_temperature_response function.
Format
List with 9 named elements that each represent a variable whose temperature-dependent value can be calculated using an Arrhenius equation or a Johnson-Eyring-Williams equation:
RL_norm: The respiration rate (RL) normalized to its value at 25 degrees C.Vcmax_norm: The maximum rate of rubisco carboxylation (Vcmax) normalized to its value at 25 degrees C.Vomax_norm: The maximum rate of rubisco oxygenation (Vomax) normalized to its value at 25 degrees C.Gamma_star: The value of CO2 partial pressure in the chloroplast at which no assimilation occurs in the absence of respiration.Kc: The Michaelis-Menten constant for rubisco carboxylation.Ko: The Michaelis-Menten constant for rubisco oxygenation.J_norm: The electron transport rate (J) normalized to its value at 25 degrees C.gmc_norm: The mesophyll conductance (gmc) normalized to its value at 25 degrees C.Tp_norm: The maximum rate of triose phosphate utilization (Tp) normalized to its value at 25 degrees C.
In turn, each of these elements is a list with at least 2 named elements:
type: the type of temperature responseunits: the units of the corresponding variable.

Some of these parameters (RL, Vcmax, J, Tp, and
gmc) are normalized to their values at 25 degrees C. Vomax is
normalized to the value of Vcmax at 25 degrees C. These variables
include _norm in their names to indicate this.
The remaining parameters (Gamma_star, Kc, and Ko) are not
normalized because they are assumed to not vary significantly between species.
Arrhenius parameters for J were obtained from Bernacchi et al. (2003).
Here, we use the values determined from chlorophyll fluorescence measured from
plants grown at 25 degrees C (Table 1). Although Bernacchi et al. (2003)
reports values of Jmax, here we assume that both Jmax and the
light-dependent values of J follow the same temperature response
function and refer to it as J for compatibility with
c3_temperature_param_sharkey.
Johnson-Eyring-Williams parameters for gmc were obtained from Bernacchi
et al. (2002).
The Bernacchi papers from the early 2000s do not specify a temperature
response for Tp, so we instead use the Johnson-Eyring-Williams
response from Sharkey et al. (2007). Another option would be to use a flat
temperature response; in other words, to assume that Tp is constant
with temperature. This could be done with the following code, which takes the
flat response parameters from c3_temperature_param_flat:
within(c3_temperature_param_bernacchi, {Tp_norm = c3_temperature_param_flat$Tp_norm})
The Arrhenius parameters for the other variables were obtained from Bernacchi et al. (2001).
