  1. # Light
  2. Light photoperiod is calculated as detailed in
  3. Section @ref(Photoperiod). Photoperiod affects wheat phenology.
  4. Light intensity and photoperiod also have an effect on diffuse light
  5. fraction, so that it could impact
  6. the diffuse factor ($f_{d}$; Equation \@ref(eq:BiomassProduction); Section @ref(Radiation-limited-biomass))
  7. and reduce the radiation-limited biomass accumulation ($\Delta Q_{r}$;
  8. Section @ref(Radiation-limited-biomass)). However, in the current
  9. APSIM-Wheat, the diffuse factor equals to 1 (i.e. no impact of diffuse
  10. light on biomass production).
  11. Light intensity affects
  12. * radiation-limited biomass accumulation ($\Delta Q_{r}$; Section @ref(Radiation-limited-biomass))
  13. via the radiation interception ($I$; Equation \@ref(eq:RadiationInterception)),
  14. which depends on the incoming radiation ($I_{0}$) and on a light-interception
  15. factor ($f_{h}$ ) based on the canopy width. However, this canopy
  16. factor has no impact in the current version of APSIM-Wheat ($f_{h}$
  17. = 1),
  18. * LAI senescence under low light condition ($\Delta LAI_{sen,\,light}$;
  19. Equation \@ref(eq:SensLight)).
