Multiple Models for Photosynthesis Output

compare the functions - is one more meaningful than the other?

processes

light limitation then light saturation
Pmax and Ek

model name equation in Excel
Blackman = MIN(E * Pmax/Ek , Pmax)
Hyperbolic tangent = Pmax *TANH(E/ Ek)
Saturating Hyperbola = Pmax * E / ( E + Ek)

Poisson ( distribution of photons hitting a small target - link)

Ek is sites and E is events per time interval

= Pmax*POISSON(1, Ek/E, TRUE)
