pawar_2018: Pawar model for fitting thermal performance curves

Description

Pawar model for fitting thermal performance curves

Usage

pawar_2018(temp, r_tref, e, eh, topt, tref)

Value

a numeric vector of rate values based on the temperatures and parameter values provided to the function

Arguments

temp

temperature in degrees centigrade

r_tref

rate at the standardised temperature, tref

e

activation energy (eV)

eh

high temperature de-activation energy (eV)

topt

optimum temperature (ºC)

tref

standardisation temperature in degrees centigrade. Temperature at which rates are not inactivated by high temperatures

Author

Daniel Padfield

Details

This model is a modified version of sharpeschoolhigh_1981 that explicitly models the optimum temperature. Equation: $$rate= \frac{r_{tref} \cdot exp^{\frac{-e}{k} (\frac{1}{temp + 273.15}-\frac{1}{t_{ref} + 273.15})}}{1 + (\frac{e}{eh - e}) \cdot exp^{\frac{e_h}{k}(\frac{1}{t_opt + 273.15}-\frac{1}{temp + 273.15})}}$$

where k is Boltzmann's constant with a value of 8.62e-05.

Start values in get_start_vals are derived from the data.

Limits in get_lower_lims and get_upper_lims are derived from the data or based extreme values that are unlikely to occur in ecological settings.
