PhoRadEfficiency

Radiation use efficiency for photosynthesis at optimum temperature, moisture and C-N ratio. To convert from gDw/MJ PAR to gDw/MJ global radiation, multiply with a factor 0.47. It is also worth noting that at leaf area indexes above 2, basically all global radiation is absorbed by the canopy.
