Pmax: Calculating the photosynthetic maximum
In padpadpadpad/TeamPhytoplankton: For studies into thermal adaptation

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References See Also

Calculates the photosynthetic maximum from the parameters of the Platt_PI curve

1	Pmax(ps, alpha, beta)

`ps`	the scaling coefficient
`alpha`	The steepness of the initial gradient of the curve - is a measure of photosynthetic efficiency
`beta`	The steepness and extent of photoinhibition as light levels increase past the optimum
