R d,25 From Eqns above (μmol CO2 m−2 s−1), but before division by the constraints in denominator [(1 + exp(0.3(13.0-T l))) × (1 + exp(0.3(T l-36.0)))] 0.4428 0.282 0.4188 0.576 0.238
Final R d,25 With suppressing constraints from denominator calculated at T l = 25.0 0.4157 0.2647 0.3932 0.5407 0.2234

The standard parameters (Methods) used in the JULES model to calculate R d,25 and for each plant functional type (PFT). However, the n l0 values use the 50-percentile numbers of the TRY database
