Appendix 1—figure 6. Role of the control parameters for the power law inhibition function, with rows (a–e) corresponding respectively to a steepness $s=1,2,4,5,6$.

First two columns: average plastochron ratio as a function of $\mathrm{\Gamma }$ and ${\mathrm{\Gamma }}_D=\frac{\mathrm{\Gamma }}{{\beta }^{1/6}{E}^{*1/2}}$, respectively. Third column: average plastochron ratio as a function of ${\mathrm{\Gamma }}_D=\frac{{\mathrm{\Gamma }}^{s/3}}{{\beta }^{1/6}{E}^{*1/2}}$.
