Calculation of Pfr:Ptot ratio from spectral irradiance

Description

Ratio between Pr and Ptot (photoequilibrium) for Type I Phytochrome.

Usage

Pfr_P_ratio(
  w.length,
  s.irrad = rep(1, length(w.length)),
  unit.in = "energy",
  check.spectrum = TRUE,
  use.cached.mult = FALSE
)

Arguments

w.length

numeric array of wavelength (nm)

s.irrad

numeric array of spectral (energy) irradiances (W m-2 nm-1) or (mol s-1 m-2)

unit.in

character string with allowed values "energy", and "photon", or its alias "quantum"

check.spectrum

logical indicating whether to sanity check input data, default is TRUE

use.cached.mult

logical indicating whether multiplier values should be cached between calls

Value

a single numeric value giving the unitless photon ratio
