McCree_photosynthesis.mspctR Documentation

McCree's action spectra for whole-leaf photosynthesis.

Description

The 'classical' action spectra of K. J. McCree (1972) for _Amaranthus edulis_ Speg. var. UCD 1966 and _Avena sativa_ L. var. Coronado are included in this data set. Response is net CO2 uptake measured of leaf sections. Light source was a xenon-arc lamp fitted with a monochromator. Irradiance was in the range 10 to 15 W m$^-2$.

Format

A response_mspct object with two member response_spct objects each with 300 rows and 2 numeric variables, w.length and s.e.response.
