Functional-Structural Plant Modelling in Crop Production (Paperback, 2007 ed.)

Functional-structural plant models describe in quantitative terms the development over time of the three-dimensional structure of plants as governed by physiological processes and affected by environmental factors. FSPMs are particularly suited to analyse problems in which the spatial structure of the plant or its canopy is an essential factor to explain, e.g., plant competition and the effects of plant configuration and plant manipulation on yield and produce quality. This book describes the philosophy of FSPM and several tools for making FSPMs; it outlines methods for measuring essential parameters, including those pertaining to plant structure. As FSPMs offer new opportunities to model sink-source interactions, the physiological theory and modelling approaches regarding partitioning of carbon are given specific attention. The book will be useful for scientists and advanced students interested in innovative approaches in plant and crop modelling.
