Hi Ty, yes that is correct. Photorespiration is accounted for in the model implemented in Photosyn
and fitaci
. The model of Farquhar et al (1980) accounts for it (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00386231).
Hi Remko,
I'm exploring a question about photorespiration, and I'm trying to figure out how it's accounted for in plantecophys. I can see that the Ci-dependent relative reaction affinity of Rubisco for C vs. O is reflected in Km, and the compensation point with GammaStar. But I can't see any specific accounting for the CO2 released during photorespiration.
Is Ac actually the balance of Vc and photorespiration? Thus, for Vcmax limited A:
Is that right? And does the CO2 released from photorespiration contribute to the estimate of Ci?
Thanks very much for any clarifications.
Ty
