custom.calc

Description

Calculates D13C, Ci, CiCa, diffCaCi, or iWUE with user specified values of d13C.plant, d13CO2.atm, atmospheric CO2, temperature, and elevation. The user can also specify whether to calculate each physiological index using the 'simple', 'photorespiration', or 'mesophyll' formulation in all calculations where Ci is computed. Method defaults to 'simple' assuming 'leaf' tissue and incorporates an apparent fractionation by Rubisco, b, of 27 permille (Cernusak and Ubierna 2022). If 'wood' tissue is supplied as an argument in the 'simple' method, the apparent fractionation by Rubisco, b, is updated to 25.5 permille (Cernusak and Ubierna 2022).
