| Comments | For ecophysiological purposes, the most important division (of the electromagnetic spectrum) is into solar radiation derived from the sun (between about 0.3µm and 4µm) and terrestrial thermal radiation (4-100µm). See Claassens et al., 2013 PMID 24120288, p.637 right column bottom paragraph:"The solar spectrum on the earth surface starts around 300 nm and extents into the infrared wavelengths above 700 nm [ref 46 therein]." |
