Perfect tracking of changes in PPFD by net CO₂ assimilation based on steady-state light-response curves (A_Q), is compared with models in which the rate of change in Rubisco activity during deactivation (τ_d) and activation (τ_a) in response to fluctuating PPFD are alternatively parameterized using one-point V_c,max from leaf gas exchange (τ_-,V) or Rubisco activation state (S; τ_-,S). Foregone assimilation (A_f) is the difference between A_Q and the respective alternative models.
