The linear relationship between the photosynthetically active solar radiation (PAR) absorbed by forest canopies (APAR) and the production of dry mass by forests provides a simple, robust model with only one parameter for the estimation of forest production. The slope of the relationship is normally denoted ɛ. The ɛ model has been developed from plant production studies and is soundly based physiologically. It has also evolved from remote sensing studies. Although the relationship between APAR and canopy photosynthesis may be highly variable over short periods, it remains constant over longer periods, such as months or seasons.
