Definitions of Variables in Output Files

LeafWeb employs the Exhaustive Dual Optimization (EDO) approach to fitting A/Ci curves for parameters in the Farquhar-von Caemmerer-Berry (FvCB) model (Gu et al. 2010). For each A/Ci curve, four sets of parameters are fitted because a given A/Ci curve might not contain sufficient constraint power for all parameters in the FvCB model.

More detailed explanation of the output files are given below:

• Readme_cntrlbestparameters - This file contains parameters estimated for all A/Ci curves that are submitted in the same batch.
• Readme_cntrlcomparison - This file contains outputs from PISCAL that facilitates examination of how well the fitting was performed.
• Readme_cntrlparameters - This file is an extended version of the output file 'cntrlbestparameters.csv'
