leaf_par: A list of leaf parameters inheriting class leaf_par. This can be generated using the make_leafpar function.
enviro_par: A list of environmental parameters inheriting class enviro_par. This can be generated using the make_enviropar function.
bake_par: A list of temperature response parameters inheriting class bake_par. This can be generated using the make_bakepar function.
constants: A list of physical constants inheriting class constants. This can be generated using the make_constants function.
assert_units: Logical. Should parameter units be checked? The function is faster when FALSE, but input must be in correct units or else results will be incorrect without any warning.
par25: Parameter value at 25 °C of class units.
E_a: Empirical temperature response value in J/mol of class units.
R: Ideal gas constant in J / (mol K) of class units. See make_constants().
T_leaf: Leaf temperature in K of class units. Will be converted to °C.
T_ref: Reference temperature in K of class units.
unitless: Logical. Should units be set? The function is faster when FALSE, but input must be in correct units or else results will be incorrect without any warning.
D_s: Empirical temperature response value in J / (mol K) of class units.
E_d: Empirical temperature response value in J/mol of class units.
Returns
Constructor function for baked class. This will also inherit class leaf_par() and list(). This function ensures that temperature is "baked in" to leaf parameter calculations T_leaf using temperature response functions detailed below.
Details
Several leaf parameters (leaf_par()) are temperature sensitive. Temperature-sensitive parameters are input at a reference temperature of 25 °C. These parameters are provided as par_name25 and then "baked" using the appropriate temperature response function and parameters in bake_par(). The "baked" parameter will have the name without "25" appended (par_name). E.g. V_cmax25 becomes V_cmax.
