Computer simulation of tree development can provide important insight into real world tree behavior. Numerous models have been developed ranging from simple equations to complicated 3D geometrical models that allow for simulation of acquisition and allocation of carbohydrates. We introduce IMapple (Interactively Modeled Apple), a functional structural apple tree model that builds on the source-sink...
Functional-structural plant modeling (FSPM) represents plant growth and development faithful to biology. After having established the functional-structural connection via allometry, the pattern of biomass allocation among individual organs is essential for FSPM. Currently the organ level allocation is based on mathematical equations, lacking detailed experimental data basis. In this study, we investigated...
Observations indicate that global radiation reaching the Earth’s surface has gradually decreased over the past several decades (i.e., the “global dimming” phenomenon), while the fraction of diffuse radiation in global radiation has increased. It has been found that the increase in diffuse fraction significantly increases photosynthetic production in the canopy, but the mechanism has not been clarified...
