| Abstract |
In this study, we present a new model of acclimation to light under nutrient-replete conditions based on the photo-acclimation model by Geider et al. (1998; Limnol Oceanogr 43:679-694). Rather than being solely carbon (C)-based, the new model employs the cell as the basic unit, which makes it more amenable for application in individual-based (Lagrangian) modelling approaches. The model differentiates between a functional C pool which also contains nitrogen (N) and an energy reserve pool which does not contain N. The cell-specific light-saturated photosynthetic rate is assumed to scale with the size of the functional pool, and the light-limited photosynthetic rate with the cellular chlorophyll content. Through the explicit inclusion of a C (energy) storage pool, an improved regulatory term for the by observations during a light-shift experiment on the diatom Skeletonema costatum. |
