Peaked Gaussian parameters describing the temperature response of important C4 photosynthetic parameters, intended to be passed to the calculate_peaked_gaussian function.

Usage

c4_peaked_gaussian_von_caemmerer

Format

List with 1 named element that represents a variable whose temperature-dependent value can be calculated using the peaked Gaussian equation:

  • Jmax_norm: The maximum rate of RuBP regneration Jmax normalized to its value at its optimal temperature.

In turn, each of these elements is a list with 3 named elements:

  • t_opt: the optimal temperature (where the variable takes its highest value) in degrees C.

  • sigma: the difference in temperature from the optimal value at which the variable's value falls to 37 percent (1/e) of its highest value, in degrees C.

  • units: the units of the variable.
