<h2>Why EDO?</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The FvCB model is more complicated than it looks for parameter estimation.
|
||
It has several characteristics that invalidate the use of conventional optimization approaches
|
||
. For example, the FvCB model is a change-point model and is structurally overparameterized
|
||
in individual carboxylation limitation states with respect to A/Ci measurements. Without
|
||
recognizing these unique features of the FvCB model, conventional approaches may lead to incorrect
|
||
parameters and produce false parameter relatinships. EDO takes into consideration
|
||
the unique structure of the FvCB model and is better suited for analysis of A/Ci curves.
|
||
For more details, please read Gu et al. (2010).

<h2>EDO Data Submission Requirements for C3 Leaves</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
We welcome users to evaluate the EDO approach and strongly encourage users to contribute their
|
||
leaf-level measurements towards the development of a global CDIAC leaf database; however, users may
|
||
still use the interface without their data becoming part of the larger CDIAC database.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To achieve the best possible results and to enhance the utility of your contributions for others,
|
||
it is imperative those submitting data provide both the requested core leaf-level variables and
|
||
the complementary information necessary to properly qualify the leaf or leaves. The desired core
|
||
and companion variables are specified in the sample input file and descriptive "readme" file for each service.
|
||

<h2>Definitions of Variables in Output Files</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
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.
|
||

<h2>Tips for Informative A/Ci Measurements</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Relatively densely distributed points in the curvature region
|
||
of an A/Ci curve are crucial for reliable parameter estimation.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Use data from literature or exploratory measurements to establish the broad
|
||
shape of A/Ci curves of similarly positioned leaves of the interested species.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Identify the Ci range within which the curvature region is located.</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Determine the corresponding cuvette CO<sub>2</sub> range using either prior
|
||
knowledge or preliminary measurements.
|
||
As an initial try, set the cuvette CO<sub>2</sub> to be 1.5 - 2 times the desired Ci values.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Sample the curvature region preferentially.</li>
|
||
</ul>
