#' C4 Photosynthesis
#' 
#' @description An implementation of the A-Ci curve for C4 plants, based on von Caemmerer et al. (2000)
#' @author Rhys Whitley
#' @param Ci Intercellular CO2 concentration (ppm)
#' @param PPFD Photosynthetic photon flux density (mu mol m-2 s-1)
#' @param Tleaf Leaf temperature (C)
#' @param VPMAX25 The maximum rate of PEP carboxylation (mu mol m-2 s-1)
#' @param Vcmax Maximum rate of carboxylation (mu mol m-2 s-1) (at 25C)
#' @param JMAX25 Maximum electron transport rate (at 25C)
#' @param Vpr PEP regeneration (mu mol m-2 s-1)
#' @param alpha Fraction of PSII activity in the bundle sheath (-)
#' @param gbs Bundle sheath conductance (mol m-2 s-1)
#' @param O2 Mesophyll O2 concentration
#' @param x Partitioning factor for electron transport
#' @param THETA Shape parameter of the non-rectangular hyperbola
#' @param Q10 T-dependence parameter for Michaelis-Menten coefficients.
#' @param RD0 Respiration at base temperature (RTEMP) (mu mol m-2 s-1)
#' @param RTEMP Base leaf temperature for respiration (C)
#' @param TBELOW Below this T, respiration is zero.
#' @param DAYRESP Fraction respiration in the light vs. that measured in the dark
#' @param Q10F T-dependence parameter of respiration 
#' @param FRM Fraction of day respiration that is mesophyll respiration (Rm)
#' @param \dots Further arguments (currently ignored).
#' @details Note that the temperature response parameters have been hardwired 
#' in this function, and are based on von Caemmerer (2000).
#' 
#' Note that it is not (yet) possible to fit this curve to observations of 
#' photosynthesis (see \code{\link{fitaci}} to fit the C3 model of photosynthesis).
