Table 1 Comparison between different mathematical models of the logarithm of the ratio between CO₂ and EW and CO₂ in CTL using different explicative variables. The comparison is based on the statistical criteria AIC (Akaike Information Criterion) and BIC (Bayesian Information Criterion). Lower AIC and BIC values indicate a better fit with the experimental data. The models with random temporal effects consider that data belonging to the same treatments are not independent, and the models with fixed temporal effects consider each datapoint to be independent from the others.
