Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Description

Simulates the light microenvironment in the canopy based on the sunlit-shade model and the multiple layers.

Usage

  sunML(I.dir, I.diff, LAI = 8, nlayers = 8, kd = 0.1,
    chi.l = 1, cos.theta = 0.5)

Arguments

I.dir

direct light (quantum flux), (micro mol /m2/s).

I.diff

indirect light (diffuse), (micro mol /m2/s).

LAI

leaf area index, default 8.

nlayers

number of layers in which the canopy is partitioned, default 8.

kd

extinction coefficient for diffuse light.

chi.l

The ratio of horizontal:vertical projected area of leaves in the canopy segment.

cos.theta

cosine of theta, solar zenith angle.

Value

a list structure with components

Vectors size equal to the number of layers.
