Software Packages

ANRAD:
Estimates potential direct and diffuse radiation at 120 meter resolution grid for target days of interest. Citation.

BIOPAK:
Calculates the biomass, area, height, length, or volume of plant components (leaves, branches, stem, crown, and roots) using existing prediction equations. Citation.
