Radiation use efficiency of leaves and canopy
It has been proposed that photosynthetic radiation use efficiency is constant for leaves throughout a canopy. Rosati and DeJong (pp. 869-877) confirm this hypothesis by modelling leaf photosynthesis with field-measured incident light and photosynthetic properties of individual leaves. They suggest that radiation use efficiency is constant for both clear and overcast days, and can be estimated in a simple way.
