Modeling effect of the different temperature responses of Rubisco kinetic parameters from C₃ plants from cool habitats (open downward triangles), C₃ plants from warm habitats (open upward triangles) and C₃ average (open circles) on the Rubisco-limited gross assimilation rate (A_Rubisco) at chloroplastic CO₂ concentrations (C_c) of 120, 200 and 400 μmol mol⁻¹. To model A_Rubisco at different temperatures, the values for the temperature dependence parameters of S_c/o, K_c and $k_{cat}^c$ were taken from Table 3 (see Methods for further details). We simulated gross assimilation here to avoid confounding effects of mitochondrial respiration.
