light.use.efficiency: Light-Use Efficiency (LUE)
In bigleaf: Physical and Physiological Ecosystem Properties from Eddy Covariance Data

light.use.efficiency R Documentation
Light-Use Efficiency (LUE)
Description
Amount of carbon fixed (GPP) per incoming light.
Usage
light.use.efficiency(GPP, PPFD)
Arguments
GPP
Gross ecosystem productivity (umol CO2 m-2 s-1)
PPFD
Photosynthetic photon flux density (umol quanta m-2 s-1)
Details
Light use efficiency is calculated as
LUE = sum(GPP)/sum(PPFD)
where both GPP and PPFD are in umol m-2 s-1. A more meaningful
(as directly comparable across ecosystems) approach is to take
absorbed PPFD rather than incoming PPFD as used here.
Value
LUE -
Light use efficiency (-)
See Also
energy.use.efficiency
Examples
light.use.efficiency(GPP=20,PPFD=1500)
