Solar Pathfinder Assistant 4, Download, Basic - Ecological

The radiation environment of streams is of major ecological importance because it controls stream thermal regime and light availability for photosynthesis. Therefore, methods are needed for measuring stream shade in practical riparian management. Methods are also needed for predicting future light exposure for forestry and turf grass physiology (golf course management). The Solar Pathfinder and Assistant Software allow industry experts to gather the shading information data needed to determine the effects of environmental stresses and provide the quality adjustments to best suit their environment.
