Fig. 6. Relative effect of temperature (Eq. [44]) on light response curve parameters, and simulated leaf assimilation curves at selected temperatures when leaf expansion is completed (original data from Oberhuber and Edwards, 1993). Parameters are: A_sat, saturated assimilation rate (µmol CO₂ m^–2 leaf s^–1); , quantum efficiency of CO₂ assimilation [µmol CO₂ (µmol quanta)^–1]; , curvature (unitless). Dashed lines correspond to 40 and 45°C.
