Effect of smoke and clouds on the transmissivity of photosynthetically active radiation inside the canopy
International audience Biomass burning activities emit high concentrations of aerosol particles to the atmosphere. Such particles can interact with solar radiation, decreasing the amount of light reaching the surface and increasing the fraction of diffuse radiation through scattering processes, and...
