The following description was taken from this source.MAESTRA is a three dimensional model of forest canopy radiation absorption, photosynthesis, and transpiration.adiation penetration to each grid point is calculated for three wavebands (i.e. PAR, near infrared and thermal radiation), including consideration of direct, diffuse and scattered radiation.
