Fig. 3. Field measured and model simulated fraction of intercepted PAR. Measurements were done around 1200 h in north–south oriented rows (Westgate et al., 1997). Simulations were done at 1200 h with various average angles of expanded leaves ({delta}, Eq. [11]). Optimum {delta} (minimum RMSE) was 64°. Vertical lines are standard errors.

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: Asat, saturated assimilation rate (µmol CO2 m–2 leaf s–1); {phi}, quantum efficiency of CO2 assimilation [µmol CO2 (µmol quanta)–1]; {theta}, curvature (unitless). Dashed lines correspond to 40 and 45°C.
