Generalized Plant Action BSWF of Caldwell as formulated by Green et al.
GEN_G(norm = 300, w.low = 275, w.high = 313.3)

a waveband object wavelength defining wavelength range, weighting function and normalization wavelength.
In the original publication [2] describing the formulation, the long-end wavelength boundary is specified as 313.3 nm. This is the default used here. However, in some cases it is of interest to vary this limit in sensitivity analyses. The effect on the RAF and doses of changing this boundary is substantial, and has been analysed by Micheletti et al. [3].
