Fitting stomatal conductance models

Description

Fitting stomatal conductance models

Usage

fit_gs_model(
  data,
  varnames = list(A_net = "A_net", C_air = "C_air", g_sw = "g_sw", RH = "RH", VPD =
    "VPD"),
  model = c("BallBerry", "Leuning", "Medlyn_partial", "Medlyn_full"),
  D0 = 3,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	Dataframe
varnames	Variable names For the Ball-Berry model: varnames = list(A_net = "A_net", C_air = "C_air", g_sw = "g_sw", RH = "RH") where A_net is net CO2 assimilation, C_air is CO2 concentration at the leaf surface in umol mol-1, g_sw is stomatal conductance to H2O, and RH is relative humidity as a proportion. For the Leuning model: varnames = list(A_net = "A_net", C_air = "C_air", g_sw = "g_sw", VPD = "VPD") where A_net is net CO2 assimilation, C_air is CO2 concentration at the leaf surface in umol mol-1, g_sw is stomatal conductance to H2O, and VPD is leaf to air vapor pressure deficit in kPa. For the Medlyn et al. 2011 models: varnames = list(A_net = "A_net", C_air = "C_air", g_sw = "g_sw", VPD = "VPD") where A_net is net CO2 assimilation, C_air is CO2 concentration at the leaf surface in umol mol-1, g_sw is stomatal conductance to H2O, and VPD is leaf to air vapor pressure deficit in kPa.
model	Which model(s) to fit? Defaults to all models. Available options are "BallBerry", "Leuning", "Medlyn_partial", and "Medlyn_full", from Ball et al. (1987), Leuning (1995), and Medlyn et al. (2011).
D0	Vapor pressure sensitivity of stomata (Leuning 1995)
...	Arguments to pass on to the nlsLM() function for the Medlyn models.

Value

fit_gs_model fits one or more stomatal conductance models to the data. The top level of the output list is named after the fitted model, while the second level contains the Model, Parameters, and Graph, in that order.

# Convert RH to a proportion
