Meaning

implicit

The longwave radiation balance of plants is implicitly considered through the partitioning of net radiation between the canopy and the soil/snow surface below.

explicit f(TempCanopy)

Longwave and shortwave radiation are separately partitioned between the canopy and the soil/snow surface below. The longwave radiation balance of plants is directly govered by the canopy temperature, which also directly influences the longwave radiation to the soil/snow surface.
