Insolation

The average daily incident solar radiation, or insolation, that strikes the earth s surface worldwide is about 220 W/m (1675 Btu/ft ). The annual insolation on 0.01% of the earth s surface is approximately equal to all energy consumed (ca 1992) by humans in one year, ie, 321 x 10 J (305 X 10 Btu). In the United States, the world s largest energy consumer, annual energy consumption is equivalent (1992) to the insolation on about 0.1 to 0.2% of U.S. total surface.

For some high growth-rate biomass species, the carbon dioxide concentration in the air among the leaves of the plant often is considerably less than that in the surrounding atmosphere. Photosynthesis may be limited by the carbon dioxide concentrations under these conditions when wind velocities are low and insolation is high.
