FAPAR
The Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR, sometimes also noted fAPAR or fPAR) is the fraction of the incoming solar radiation in the Photosynthetically Active Radiation spectral region that is absorbed by plants. This biophysical variable is directly related to the primary productivity of plants and some models use it to estimate the assimilation of carbon dioxide in vegetation.
