Model C3 Photosynthesis
Description
photosynthesis is an R package with modeling tools for C3 photosynthesis, as well as analytical tools for curve-fitting plant ecophysiology responses. It uses the R package units to ensure that parameters are properly specified and transformed before calculations.

The photosynthesis package simulates photosynthetic rate given a set of leaf traits and environmental conditions by solving the Farquhar-von Caemmerer-Berry C3 biochemical model. There are two main steps to using photosynthesis:
- define leaf parameters, environmental parameters, temperature response parameters, and physical constants; and
- solve for the chloroplastic CO2 concentration that balances CO2
supply and demand (
photoandphotosynthesisfor single and multiple parameter sets, respectively).
In this vignette, I’ll show you how to:
- run a minimum worked example using default parameters
- replace default parameters
- simulate photosynthetic rate along a gradient of CO concentrations ( curve)
Minimum worked example
You can use the default parameter settings and simulate photosynthetic
rate in a single leaf using the make_*() functions and photo().

You can look at default parameters settings in the manual (run
?make_parameters). These defaults are reasonable, but of course you
will probably want to use different choices and allow some parameters to
vary. Here, I’ll demonstrate how to replace a default. In the next
section, I’ll show you how to set up a gradient of parameter values over
which to solve for leaf temperature.
# Use the `replace` argument to replace defaults. This must be a named list, and
# each named element must have the proper units specified. See `?make_parameters`
# for all parameter names and proper units.
# Temperature response parameters can be updated (but we won't do that here)
bake_par <- make_bakepar()
# Physical constants probably do not need to be replaced in most cases,
# that's why we call them 'constants'!
constants <- make_constants(use_tealeaves = FALSE)
# First, we'll change photosynthetic photon flux density to 1000 umol / (m^2 s)
enviro_par <- make_enviropar(
replace = list(
PPFD = set_units(1000, "umol/m^2/s")
), use_tealeaves = FALSE
)
# Next, we'll change stomatal conductance to 3 umol / (m^2 s Pa)
leaf_par <- make_leafpar(
replace = list(
g_sc = set_units(3, "umol/m^2/s/Pa")
), use_tealeaves = FALSE
)
photo <- photo(leaf_par, enviro_par, bake_par, constants, quiet = TRUE,
use_tealeaves = FALSE)
photo %>%
select(PPFD, C_chl, A) %>%
knitr::kable()| PPFD | C_chl | A |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 [umol/m^2/s] | 24.0449 [Pa] | 25.21885 [umol/m^2/s] |
Environmental gradients
In the previous two examples, I used the photo function to solve for a
single parameter set. In most cases, you’ll want to solve for many
parameter sets. The function photosynthesis generalizes photo and
makes it easy to solve for multiple parameter sets using the same
argument structure. All you need to do is specify multiple values for
one or more leaf or environmental parameters and photosynthesis uses
the purrr::cross function to fit all combinations[^1].
# As before, use the `replace` argument to replace defaults, but this time we
# enter multiple values
bake_par <- make_bakepar()
constants <- make_constants(use_tealeaves = FALSE)
# First, we'll change the PPFD to 1000 and 1500 umol / (m^2 s)
enviro_par <- make_enviropar(
replace = list(
PPFD = set_units(c(1000, 1500), "umol/m^2/s")
), use_tealeaves = FALSE
)
# Next, we'll change stomatal conductance to to 2 and 4 umol / (m^2 s Pa)
leaf_par <- make_leafpar(
replace = list(
g_sc = set_units(c(2, 4), "umol/m^2/s/Pa")
), use_tealeaves = FALSE
)
# Now there should be 4 combinations (high and low g_sc crossed with high and low PPFD)
ph <- photosynthesis(leaf_par, enviro_par, bake_par, constants,
use_tealeaves = FALSE, progress = FALSE, quiet = TRUE)
ph %>%
select(g_sc, PPFD, A) %>%
knitr::kable()| g_sc | PPFD | A |
|---|---|---|
| 2 [umol/m^2/Pa/s] | 1000 [umol/m^2/s] | 23.90532 [umol/m^2/s] |
| 4 [umol/m^2/Pa/s] | 1000 [umol/m^2/s] | 25.87941 [umol/m^2/s] |
| 2 [umol/m^2/Pa/s] | 1500 [umol/m^2/s] | 25.17778 [umol/m^2/s] |
| 4 [umol/m^2/Pa/s] | 1500 [umol/m^2/s] | 27.48581 [umol/m^2/s] |
Parallel processing
It can take a little while to simulate many different parameter sets. If
you have multiple processors available, you can speed things up by
running simulations in parallel. In the photosynthesis function,
simply use the parallel = TRUE argument to simulate in parallel.
You’ll need to set up a future plan(). See ?future::plan for
more detail. Here I’ll provide an example simulating an
curve.

NULLIncorporating leaf temperature using tealeaves
In experiments, leaf temperature can be kept close to air temperature,
but in nature, leaf temperature can be quite a bit different than air
temperature in the shade depending on environmental and leaf parameters.
If use_tealeaves = TRUE, photo() and photosynthesis() will call on
the tealeaves
package to calculate leaf temperature using an energy balance model.
# You will need to set use_tealeaves = TRUE when making parameters because additional parameters are needed for tealeaves.

This package currently implements a Gu-type fitting procedure for CO2 response curves similar to the Duursma (2015) implementation. There is ongoing work to implement a full Gu-type method whereby mesophyll conductance, Km, and GammaStar could all be fit (Gu et al 2010). There is also ongoing work to implement a procedure to fit alphag for the TPU-limited region and to incorporate the Sharkey (2019) suggestion of using chlorophyll fluorescence data to inform TPU limitations.
