a Values of parameters where activation energies have been given can be calculated at any temperature from the following equation: parameter   (25   C)exp{(T25)E/[298R(273+T)]}   , where R (8.314J K–1 mol–1) is the universal gas constant and T is temperature in °C.

b Data from Boyd et al. (2015) have been refitted with the simple Arrhenius function in a.

c Data from Ubierna et al. (2017) have been refitted with the simple Arrhenius function in a including data from 10 °C to 35 °C.
