An analytical solution for coupled leaf photosynthesis and stomatal conductance models

Iterative solutions of coupled leaf photosynthesis and stomatal conductance equations sometimes yield bifurcated or chaotic solutions. An analytical solution for coupled leaf photosynthesis-stomatal conductance equations is preferred because an analytical model has specific and known roots, and partial derivatives can be taken to perform sensitivity analyses. I present an analytical solution for coupled leaf photosynthesis and stomatal conductance equations that are based on established biochemical and physiological theory
