Short summary
We advance the Geometric Optical Radiative Transfer model and derive analytical solutions to radiation absorption by sunlit/shaded leaves. We link the radiative transfer process with the biochemical diffusion process to model canopy photosynthesis. Modeled gross primary production could explain more than 80% variance of flux tower measurements at both hourly and daily scales.
