Gridded temperature maximum for global photosynthesis, in NetCDF format@en

Two important points exist within temperature dependence curves for biosphere metabolism: the inflection point (T_inf), and the thermal maximum (T_max). The inflection point for temperature dependent rates represents temperatures where an increase in rate (k) is maximal relative to temperature (T). The thermal maximum represents the top of the temperature dependence curve where any additional increase in temperature will decrease metabolic rate. Here we define T_max for the land uptake as temperatures beyond which photosynthetic rate decreases (T_max). […]
