These are Excel-based models relevant to chapters in the textbook.

In each model, yellow cells will be associated with student inputs. Other cells are associated with various model outputs.

Picture
  • Solar radiation incident on a leaf or slope surface (any slope angle, azimuth, time of day, or day of year)
  • Leaf temperature (any combination of climate and leaf coupling factors)
  • Photosynthetic rate of a C3 leaf (based on Farquhar models)
  • Canopy light penetration and photosynthesis (any distribution of leaf area and photosynthetic capacity)​
  • Whole plant water relations
