The individual plant of Chinese ivy can produce three types of branches (creepy, climbing, and reproductive) during its development, which adapt to different environmental factors. An eco-physiological model was constructed to simulate leaf net photosynthetic rate (P N) of Chinese ivy (Hedera nepalensis var. sinensis) in subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest based on leaf physiological and mathematical analysis. The model integrated the rate-limiting biochemical process of photosynthesis and the processes of stomatal regulation. Influence of environmental factors (solar radiation, temperature, CO2 concentration, vapour pressure deficit, etc.) on P N was also considered in our model; its parameters were estimated for leaves on three types of branch in the whole growing season. The model was validated with field data. The model could simulate P N of leaf on three types of branches accurately. Influence of solar radiation on leaf P N of three types of branches in different seasons was analyzed through the model with numerical analysis.

Additional key words: CO2 concentration; irradiance; simulation model; solar radiation; temperature; vapour pressure deficit
