Note that this differs from Equation 13 of :cite:t:`Li:2014bc`, which removes foliar
respiration from potential GPP. This approach is equivalent but allows the foliar
respiration to vary between plant functional types.
Note that this differs from Equation 13 of :cite:t:`Li:2014bc`, which does not
include a term for foliar respiration. This is because :cite:t:`Li:2014bc` remove
foliar respiration as a fixed proportion of potential GPP as the first step in their
calculations. The approach here is equivalent but allows the foliar respiration to
vary between plant functional types.
