One-dimensional numerical simulation of primary production: Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations
Figure 1 compares the photoadaptation reaction kinetics of the Woods and Lande/Lewis photosynthesis models. The curves displaying the photosynthetic response of the L/L model to positive and negative perturbations to light intensity are incorrect. In the L/L model, the response is actually a family of curves that depend on both the physiological state of the cell and the magnitude of the light fluctation. Fortunately, the proper form of the photoadaptation kinetics was used in the simulations comparing lagrangian and eulerian integrations of the two photosynthesis models. Thus, the error in Figure 1 does not compromise the main result of the paper that exponential reaction kinetics tend to exaggerate the Lagrangian effects of photoadaptation.
