Mechanistically-based functional-structural tree models for simulating forest patch response to interacting environmental stresses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The number of interactions among environmental factors and plant genetic constraints makes an assessment of plant responses to global change factors difficult to solve by experimentation alone. Mechanistically-based Functional-Structural Plant Models (FSPMs) however, have the potential to predict the effects of subtle interactions among environmental driving variables on key physiological processes, and consequently, growth and response to environmental stress.

Linking models of different scales (e.g., process, tree-stand-ecosystem) is essential for furthering our understanding of stand, climatic, and edaphic effects on tree growth and forest productivity. Moreover, linking existing models that differ in scale and levels of resolution quickly identifies knowledge gaps in information required to scale from one level to another, indentifies firture rese...

Functional-structural plant models simulate the development of plant structure, taking into account plant physiology and environmental factors. The L-PEACH model is based on the development of peach trees. It demonstrates the usefulness of L-systems in constructing functional-structural models. L-PEACH uses L-systems both to simulate the development of tree structure and to solve differential e...

The rule-based formal language of \stochastic sensitive growth grammars" was designed to describe algorithmically the changing morphology of forest trees during their lifetime under the impact of endogenous and exogenous factors, and to generate 3-D simulations of tree structures in a systematic manner. The description in the form of grammars allows the precise speciication of structural models...
