Pfr_Ptot: Calculate phytochrome photoequilibrium

Description

A method implemented for objects of different classes.

Usage

Pfr_Ptot(x, ...)

# S3 method for default Pfr_Ptot(x, ...)

# S3 method for numeric Pfr_Ptot(x, spct.out = length(x) > 20, ...)

# S3 method for source_spct Pfr_Ptot(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an R object

...

not used

spct.out

logical Flag indicating if the returned object should be of class response_spct instead of numeric.

Value

If x is numeric, giving wavelengths (nm), a vector of numeric values giving the unitless photon ratio at each wavelength or a generic_spct object with the wavelength values sorted in ascending order and the corresponding Pfr_Ptot values in column s.q.response.

If x is a source_spct object, a single numeric value giving the unitless photon ratio

Methods (by class)

  • default: Default for generic function

  • numeric: Specialization for numeric

  • source_spct: Specialization for source_spct

    Calculate phytochrome photoequilibrium from spectral (photon) irradiance
