Figure 2.

Horizontal bar chart showing predictor importance ranked from highest to lowest: ePPFD15, ePPFDi, VPD, CO₂, and Temp. Importance values range from 0 to 20, with ePPFD15 being highest. Chart highlights relative contributions of each predictor.

Variable importance for predicting the quantum yield of photosystem II (ΦPSII) from the final multiple linear regression (MLR) model. Importance values are based on standardized regression coefficients. Predictors include extended photosynthetic photon flux density averaged over 15 minutes (ePPFD15), instantaneous ePPFD (ePPFDi), vapor pressure deficit (VPD), carbon dioxide concentration (CO2), and air temperature (Temp). Higher values indicate stronger influence on the model.
