I have collected solar radiation data in units of MJ/m2. However, I would like to convert this data to Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) to better understand its impact on photosynthesis and plant growth. Could someone please guide me on how to perform this conversion?
I understand that PPFD is typically measured in units of micromoles per square meter per second (μmol/m2/s), which represents the number of photons in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) range received per unit area per unit of time. However, I am unsure about the conversion process from solar radiation expressed in MJ/m2 to PPFD.
Any insights, equations, or references related to the conversion of solar radiation data in MJ/m2 to PPFD in μmol/m2/s would be highly valuable.
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to learning from the knowledgeable members of the ResearchGate community.
