Equations for enzyme-limited photosynthesis and for light- and electron-transport-limited photosynthesis used to predict the maximal PEPC carboxylation rate (V_pmax), maximal Rubisco carboxylation rate (V_cmax), and the maximal electron transport rate (J_max) from the CO₂-response curves of whole leaf photosynthesis according to von Caemmerer (2000)
