Fit stomatal conductance

Fit the Buckley–Turnbull–Adams or Medlyn stomatal conductance model. See Stomatal conductance models.

BTA: conductance, light and VPD

The file needs conductance (gsw, gs, gsw_corrected, and similar), light (Qin, Qabs, Q, PARi, and similar) and VPD (VPDleaf, VPD, and similar, in kPa) or Ds (mmol mol⁻¹):

pk fit stomatal examples/bta.csv

Medlyn: conductance, assimilation, CO₂ and VPD

The file needs conductance, net assimilation (A, A_solved, Anet, and similar) and VPD. A CO₂ column (Cs, Ca, CO2, and similar) is optional; without one, Cs = 420 µmol mol⁻¹.

pk fit stomatal examples/medlyn.csv --model medlyn --predicted

From porometry

Correct the LI-600 file, estimate A, and fit Medlyn to the result. The file then has gsw_corrected, A_solved and VPDleaf. See Estimate A from porometry.
