ABSTRACT Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) comprises the spectral range of global solar radiation (Rs) that is highly related to vegetation productivity. The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PAR and Rs in Petrolina, PE, and Brasília, DF, Brazil, with data measured in 2011 and 2013 at two stations of the Sistema Nacional de Organização de Dados Ambientais located in Petrolina, PE and Brasília, DF, Brazil, and the obtained models were evaluated using the measurements of 2014. It was verified that the PAR, in instantaneous values (μmol m-2 s-1), can be estimated at 2.31 times the Rs (W m-2) measured in Petrolina, while for daily values of PAR (MJ m-2) is equal to 50% of Rs (MJ m-2). In Brasília, PAR (μmol m-2 s-1) is 2.05 times the Rs (W m-2) and, in daily values, equal to 44% of Rs (MJ m-2). The variability of the PAR/Rs ratio followed the local variations of clearness index (Kt) and Rs. The models presented an adequate performance based on statistical indices mean absolute error, mean relative error, and root mean square error and can be used to estimate PAR.

With this study, the objective was to estimate the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and to correlate it with the dry matter (MMSPA) of the emerald zoysia (Zoysia japonica Steud.) on surfaces with different expositions and slopes. The research was conducted at the Experimental Watershed of the Agricultural Engineering Department, School of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences of São Paulo State University (FCAV/UNESP), Brazil, where the surfaces (H, 10 N, 30 N, 50 N, 10 S, 30 S, 50 S, 10 L, 30 L, 50 L, 10 O, 30 O and 50 O) were used. To obtain the global solar radiation, it was installed an automated weather station where the PAR (dependent variable) was obtained by the equation y = a + bx, and the global radiation was independent. To compare means of MMSPA, it was used the Tukey test at 5% probability, and to assess the relation PAR/MMSPA, the simple linear correlation coefficient. The result showed that the accumulation of these effects in the PAR increases with North exposure and decreases with the South, and exposure to 50N is most suitable for slopes, not having correlation between the PAR and the MMSPA for the surfaces evaluated for the study period.

This work aims to establish a relationship between the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and the global radiation (Rg) for Santa Rita do Passa Quatro (SP), during the period from February 2005 to February 2006 and evaluate its impact on gross primary production (GPP). Data of Rg (Wm-2) and PAR (μmols s-1m-2) were obtained from the mirometeorological tower located in Gleba Cerrado Giant Foot. Data analysis allowed the establishment of a linear equation to express the relationship between PAR (MJ m-2) and Rg (MJ m-2) as: PAR = 0.3787 Rg or PAR = 1.742 Rg, for PAR (μmols s-1m-2) and Rg (MJ m-2). This relationship is indicated for the GPP determination when there is no PAR measurements.

Measurements of incoming global radiation, K↓, beneath a dwarf apple orchard canopy were made with a traversing sensor and a randomly located set of 10 stationary sensors. The location of the latter was changed once during the period of the experiment. On a daily basis, satisfactory agreement between the two sets of measurements was attained only for the second network location.Above-canopy and track measurements were used to calculate diurnal and daily values of canopy transmissivity, absorptivity, and reflectivity. Average values for the whole period were 0.53, 0.28, and 0.19. Analogous coefficients were obtained for photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Extracanopy values of PAR were evaluated from PAR = 0.49 K↓ on 'bright' days (days with cloud cover less than [Formula: see text]) and PAR = 0.5 K↓ for cloudy days. These relationships were obtained by regression from sample measurements of PAR and K↓. Average PAR transmissivity, absorptivity, and reflectivity were evaluated as 0.42, 0.51, and 0.07.

Abstract. Solar radiation, especially photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), is the main energy source of plant photosynthesis, and the diffuse component can enhance canopy light use efficiency, thus increasing ecosystem productivity. In order to predict the terrestrial ecosystem productivity precisely, we not only need global radiation and PAR as driving variables, but also need to treat diffuse radiation and diffuse PAR explicitly in ecosystem models. Therefore, we generated a series of radiation datasets, including global radiation, diffuse radiation, PAR, and diffuse PAR of China from 1981 to 2010, based on the observations of the China Meteorology Administration (CMA) and the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN). The dataset should be useful for the analysis of the spatiotemporal variations of solar radiation in China and the impact of diffuse radiation on terrestrial ecosystem productivity based on ecosystem models. The dataset is freely available from Zenodo on the following website: https://zenodo.org/record/1198894#.Wx6–C_MwWo (https://doi.org/10.11922/sciencedb.555, Ren et al., 2018).
