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.
