Fig. 6. Sensitivity analysis of CERES-PR to relative changes in model parameters associated with light capture (closed symbols), photosynthesis and respiration (open symbols), and temperature (gray symbols). Parameters reported are as follows: {delta} (average leaf angle); H (potential canopy height); X (parameter dictating leaf angle distribution according to Campbell, 1986); rp (hourly maintenance respiration per unit of gross assimilation); rg (hourly maintenance respiration per unit of dry weight growth); ka (slope parameter dictating reduction of leaf assimilation with age); ast (temperature effect on light saturated assimilation, Asat); and rmt (temperature effect on maintenance respiration).
