Estimating photosynthetic capacity from optimized Rubisco–chlorophyll relationships among vegetation types and under global change

The maximum rate of carboxylation (Vcmax), a key parameter indicating photosynthetic capacity, is commonly fixed as a constant by vegetation types and/or varies according to empirical scaling functions in Earth system models (ESMs). As such, the setting of Vcmax results in uncertainties of estimated...
