(Modified) Arrhenius Temperature Response Function
Description
(Modified) Arrhenius function describing the temperature response of biochemical parameters.
Usage
Arrhenius.temp.response(
param,
Temp,
Ha,
Hd,
dS,
constants = bigleaf.constants()
)
Arguments
param |
Parameter measured at measurement temperature (umol m-2 s-1) |
Temp |
Measurement temperature (degC) |
Ha |
Activation energy for param (kJ mol-1) |
Hd |
Deactivation energy for param (kJ mol-1) |
dS |
Entropy term for param (kJ mol-1 K-1) |
constants |
Kelvin - conversion degree Celsius to Kelvin |
Details
The function returns the biochemical rate at a reference temperature of 25degC given a predefined temperature response function. This temperature response is given by a modified form of the Arrhenius function:
param25 = param /
( exp(Ha * (Temp - Tref) / (Tref*Rgas*Temp)) *
(1 + exp((Tref*dS - Hd) / (Tref * Rgas))) /
(1 + exp((Temp*dS - Hd) / (Temp * Rgas)))
)
where param is the value/rate of the parameter at measurement temperature, Temp is temperature in K, Tref is reference temperature (298.15K), and Rgas is the universal gas constant (8.314 J K-1 mol-1). Ha is the activation energy (kJ mol-1), Hd is the deactivation energy (kJ mol-1), and dS the entropy term (kJ mol-1 K-1) of the respective parameter.
If either Hd or dS or both are not provided, the equation above reduces to the first term (i.e. the common Arrhenius equation without the deactivation term.)
Value
param25 - value of the input parameter at the reference temperature of 25degC (umol m-2 s-1)
