The formula to calculate PPFD (\(µmol m^{-2} s^{-1}\)) from Solar Radiation (W/m²) is:
\[ PPFD = Solar\ Radiation \times Conversion\ Factor \]
Where:
PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) is a measure of the number of photons in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) range that are incident on a surface every second.
Solar Radiation is the radiant energy emitted by the sun, particularly electromagnetic energy.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ PPFD = 200 \times 2.15 \]
Evaluating:
\[ PPFD = 430 \]
The PPFD is 430 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹.
