PhoWaterEfficiency

Water use efficiency for photosynthesis. To convert from μmol CO2/mmol H2O to gDw/mm, multiply with a factor 1.5. Water use efficiency is quite variable. Literature values range from 2 -14 gDw/mm for different species, but also within each species the variation is large due to for example climatic differences.
