DESCRIPTION

       i.biomass calculates the biomass growth for a day after [1][2].  Input:

           •   fPAR, the modified Photosynthetic Active Radiation for crops.

           •   Light Use Efficiency [0.0-1.0], in Uzbekistan cotton is at 1.9 most of the time.

           •   Latitude [0.0-90.0], from r.latlong.

           •   DOY [1-366].

           •   Transmissivity of the atmosphere single-way [0.0-1.0], mostly around 0.7+ in clear
               sky.

           •   Water availability [0.0-1.0], possibly using direct output from i.eb.evapfr.

NOTES

       i.biomass can use the output of i.eb.evapfr directly as water availability input.

TODO

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