DESCRIPTION

58       i.biomass calculates the biomass growth for a day after [1][2].  Input:
59
60           ·   fPAR, the modified Photosynthetic Active Radiation for crops.
61
62           ·   Light Use Efficiency [0.0-1.0], in Uzbekistan cotton is at  1.9
63               most of the time.
64
65           ·   Latitude [0.0-90.0], from r.latlong.
66
67           ·   DOY [1-366].
68
69           ·   Transmissivity  of  the atmosphere single-way [0.0-1.0], mostly
70               around 0.7+ in clear sky.
71
72           ·   Water availability [0.0-1.0], possibly using direct output from
73               i.eb.evapfr.
74

NOTES

76       i.biomass  can  use  the output of i.eb.evapfr directly as water avail‐
77       ability input.
78

TODO

80       Remove Latitude, DOY and Tsw from input and replace with a raster input
81       compatible with r.sun output.
