LIGHT AND TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Abstract

A very brief report on a theoretical model for photosynthesis is given. It combines the resistance network used in transpiration studies with a simplified biochemical approach describing the uptake of CO2 at the chloroplasts. This model was combined with the energy budget approach to leaf energy balance. The photosynthesis model has been refined to include photorespiration, thereby making it more widely applicable.
