Jmax298, Jmax298SL, Jmax298SH

Maximum electron transport rate per leaf area at 298ºK (i.e. 25 ºC) (micromol*s-1*m-2) (for each canopy layer in the case of photo_multilayerPhotosynthesisFunction). 'SH' stands for shade leaves, whereas 'SL' stands for sunlit leaves.

Q

Active photon flux density (micromol * s-1 * m-2).

Ci

CO2 internal concentration (micromol * mol-1).

GT

CO2 saturation point corrected by temperature (micromol * mol-1).

Jmax

Maximum electron transport rate per leaf area (micromol*s-1*m-2).

Km

Km = Kc*(1.0+(Oi/Ko)) - Michaelis-Menten term corrected by temperature (in micromol * mol-1).

Vmax

Maximum Rubisco carboxylation rate per leaf area (micromol*s-1*m-2).

Catm

CO2 air concentration (micromol * mol-1).

Gc

CO2 leaf (stomatal) conductance (mol * s-1 * m-2).

verbose

Boolean flag to indicate console output.

u

Wind speed above the leaf boundary (in m/s) (for each canopy layer in the case of photo_multilayerPhotosynthesisFunction).

leafWidth

Leaf width (in cm).

Gsw_AC_slope

Slope of the An/C vs Gsw relationship

Gsw_AC_intercept

Intercept of the An/C vs Gsw relationship

E

Transpiration flow rate per leaf area (mmol*s-1*m-2).

psiLeaf

Leaf water potential (MPa).

Patm

Atmospheric air pressure (in kPa).

Tair

Air temperature (in ºC).

vpa

Vapour pressure deficit (in kPa).

absRad

Absorbed long- and short-wave radiation (in W*m^-2).

refLeafArea

Leaf reference area.

SWRabs

Absorbed short-wave radiation (in W·m-2).

LWRnet

Net long-wave radiation balance (in W·m-2).

SLarea, SHarea

Leaf area index of sunlit/shade leaves (for each canopy layer in the case of photo_multilayerPhotosynthesisFunction).

absRadSL, absRadSH

Instantaneous absorbed radiation (W·m-2) per unit of sunlit/shade leaf area (for each canopy layer in the case of photo_multilayerPhotosynthesisFunction).

QSL, QSH

Active photon flux density (micromol * s-1 * m-2) per unit of sunlit/shade leaf area (for each canopy layer in the case of photo_multilayerPhotosynthesisFunction).
