Models of temperature impacts on growth with associated equations and a list of parameters.

Model Equation Parameters Citation
Arrhenius μmax(T)=μmaxeEakT Ea ≡ activation energy [m2·kg·s-2]
k ≡ Boltzmann constant [m2·kg·s-2·K-1]
T ≡ absolute temperature [K]
(Arrhenius, 1889)
CTMI μmax(T)=μmax(TTmax)(ToptTmin)×(TTmin)2[(ToptTmin)(TTopt)(ToptTmax)(Topt+Tmin2T)] T ≡ temperature [˚C]
Topt ≡ optimum temperature [˚C]
Tmin ≡ minimum temperature [˚C]
Tmax ≡ maximum temperature [˚C]
