Name of Day of Year raster map [1-366]
transmissivity_singleway=name [required]
Name of single-way transmissivity raster map [0.0-1.0]
water_availability=name [required]
Value of water availability raster map [0.0-1.0]
output=name [required]

DESCRIPTION
i.biomass calculates the biomass growth for a day after [1][2]. Input:
• fPAR, the modified Photosynthetic Active Radiation for crops.
• Light Use Efficiency [0.0-1.0], in Uzbekistan cotton is at 1.9
most of the time.
• Latitude [0.0-90.0], from r.latlong.
• DOY [1-366].
• Transmissivity of the atmosphere single-way [0.0-1.0], mostly
around 0.7+ in clear sky.
• Water availability [0.0-1.0], possibly using direct output from
i.eb.evapfr.
NOTES
i.biomass can use the output of i.eb.evapfr directly as water avail-
ability input.
TODO
Remove Latitude, DOY and Tsw from input and replace with a raster input
compatible with r.sun output.
