The output file 'cntrlbestparameters.csv', which is in comma-separated-value format, contains parameters estimated for all A/Ci curves that are submitted in the same batch. The values of these parameters are given at the temperatures of sample leaves (that is, the estiamted parameters are not adjusted to the same reference temperature). A curve may be fitted for multiple times, depending on what paramters are fixed and what parameters are estimated. The first and and second partial derivatives of the cost function with respect to the estimated paramters are also given. A valid estimation has a zero first derivative but a non-zero second derivative. Variables contained in the file CurveID -(NA), the curve ID (the file name of the A/Ci curve) ChlFlUse? -(0/1), whether or not chlorophyll fluorescence data are used for identifying the limitation states 0 = not used, 1 = used. (Currently this choice is still under evaluation and therefore ChlFlUse? = 0). FitGi? -(0/1), whether or not the internal conductance (gi) is fitted for. 0 = not fitted and gi is either infinite or fixed at the value provided by the user. 1 = gi is estiamted FitGamma*? - (0/1), whether or not the chloroplastic CO2 partial pressure photocompensation point is fitted for. 0= not fitted, a prescribed value is used. FitKco? - (0/1), whether or not the apparent Michaelis - Menten constant Kco = Kc(1+O/Ko) is fitted for. 0= not fitted, a prescribed value is calculated from Kc, Ko and the oxygen partial pressure. 1= Fitted for. FitRd? - (0/1), whether the dark respiration is fitted for. 0= not fitted for, a prescribed value is used. 1= fitted for. FitAlpha? - (0/1), whether alpha (the non-returned fraction of the glycolate carbon recycled in the photorespiratory cycle) is fitted for. 0= not fitted for and alpha = 0 1= fitted for LimitCombina - (NA), the combination of limitation states present in the A/Ci dataset. Parameters are estimated for those limitation states that occur in the measured curve. Rubisco: Rubisco limitation (Vcmax, Kco) RuBP: RuBP regeneration limitation (J) Tpu: export limitation (TPU, alpha) MeanTleaf - (oC): average leaf temperature MeanPARi - (umol/m2/s) average PAR inside the sample chamber. MeanPresAir - (KPa) average atmospheric pressure MeanPO2i - (KPa) average oxygen partial pressure gmeso - (umol/m2/s/pa), internal CO2 transfer conductance, also called the mesophyll conductance stargamma - (Pa), chloroplastic CO2 partial pressure photocompensation point rdlight - (umol/m2/s), dark respiration vcmax - (umol/m2/s), the maximal Rubisco carboxylation rate fkco - (Pa), Kco = Kc(1+O/Ko) the apparent Michaelis-Menton constant fjelect - (umol/m2/s), the electron transport rate at the measurement light and temperature level tpu - (umol/m2/s), the export rate. tpu is estimated in two ways. If the dataset contains TPU limitation points, then tpu is estimated from the regular Farquhar model fitting. If the dataset does not contain TPU limitation points, then tpu is estimated asymptotically by fitting the A/Ci curve with a sigmoid function: tpu= (Anet_asymptote+Rd)/3 alpha - (0 to 1), the non-returned fraction of the glycolate carbon recycled in the photorespiratory cycle. alpha is set to 0 if not estimated. df_gmeso - the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to gmeso df_stargamma - the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to stargamma df_rdlight- the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to rdlight df_vcmax- the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to vcmax df_fkco- the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to fkco df_fjelect- the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to fjelect df_tpu- the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to tpu df_alpha- the first partial derivative of the cost function with respect to alpha df2_gmeso - the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to gmeso df2_stargamma - the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to stargamma df2_rdlight- the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to rdlight df2_vcmax- the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to vcmax df2_fkco- the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to fkco df2_fjelect- the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to fjelect df2_tpu- the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to tpu df2_alpha- the second partial derivative of the cost function with respect to alpha weitedrms: (umol/m2/s), the root mean square error. For A/Ci fitting, the weighting factor for each data point is 1 (that is, no weighting)
