Measurements used to generate the relative quantum yield data were made on single leaves under low radiation
levels and at short time scales (McCree, 1972a; Inada, 1976). Whole plants and plant canopies typically have
multiple leaf layers and are generally grown in the field or greenhouse over the course of an entire growing
season. Thus, actual conditions plants are subject to are likely different than those the single leaves were in when
measurements were made by McCree (1972a) and Inada (1976). In addition, relative quantum yield (shown in
figure above) is the mean from twenty-two species grown in the field (McCree, 1972a). Mean relative quantum
yield for the same species grown in growth chambers was similar, but there were differences, particularly at
shorter wavelengths (less than 450 nm). There was also some variability between species (McCree, 1972a; Inada,
1976).
McCree (1972b) found that equally weighting all photons between 400 and 700 nm and summing the result,
similar to correlation between YPFD and photosynthesis. As a matter of practicality, PPFD is a simpler definition of
PAR. At the same time as McCree's work, others had proposed PPFD as an accurate measure of PAR and built
sensors that approximated the PPFD weighting factors (Biggs et al., 1971; Federer and Tanner, 1966). Correlation
between PPFD and YPFD measurements for several radiation sources is very high (figure below). As an
approximation, YPFD = 0.9PPFD. As a result, almost universally PAR is defined as PPFD rather than YPFD, although
YPFD has been used in some studies. The only radiation sources shown (figure below) that don't fall on the
regression line are the high pressure sodium (HPS) lamp, reflection from a plant canopy, and transmission below a
plant canopy. A large fraction of radiation from HPS lamps is in the red range of wavelengths where the YPFD
weighting factors are at or near one. The factor for converting PPFD to YPFD for HPS lamps is 0.95, rather than
0.90. The factor for converting PPFD to YPFD for reflected and transmitted photons is 1.00.
