Functional-structural Plant Models in Crop Production
نویسنده
چکیده
This volume brings together many contributions and aspects of functional-structural plant modelling. These last pages draw attention to three significant questions that may emerge while reading this book: (i) to what extent do these models address plant functions? (ii) what is the (future) role of these models in plant sciences? and (iii) how can the use of these models be enhanced? These questions will be discussed in this epilogue.

Climate change effects on wheat yield and water use in oasis cropland
Agriculture of the inland arid region in Xinjiang depends on irrigation, which forms oasis of Northwest China. The production and water use of wheat, a dominant crop there, is significantly affected by undergoing climate variability and change. The objective of this study is to quantify inter-annual variability of wheat yield and water use from 1955 to 2006. The farming systems model APSIM (Agr...
متن کاملFunctional-structural Plant Modelling in Crop Production
The role acquired by modelling in plant sciences includes integration of knowledge, exploration of the behaviour of the plant system beyond the range of conditions covered experimentally and decision support. The purpose of the model determines its structure. Initially process-based models (PBM) were developed separately from structural (or: architectural or morphological) plant models (SPM). C...
متن کاملResearch on Digital Construction of Crop Plant Type Based on a Kind of Improved Functional-Structural Model and Component Technology
Taking digital construction of crop ideotype as the target, current functional-structural model was improved, which discussed the biomass production, biomass allocation and organ reconstruction, the division of crop organ components and the way of component connections was put forward, and the internal structure of the components was explored to leaf organs as an example. At last, the process o...
متن کاملQuantification of the effects of architectural traits on dry mass production and light interception of tomato canopy under different temperature regimes using a dynamic functional–structural plant model
There is increasing interest in evaluating the environmental effects on crop architectural traits and yield improvement. However, crop models describing the dynamic changes in canopy structure with environmental conditions and the complex interactions between canopy structure, light interception, and dry mass production are only gradually emerging. Using tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) as a mo...
متن کاملIndividual and interactive effects of crop type and management on weed and seed bank composition in an organic rotation
We investigated the effects of organic and conventional pest and fertility management on weed cover and the seed bank community in an organic rotation. The study was conducted during the 4th and 5th years of an organic rotation on part of a long term organic-conventional comparison trial. Results showed that although crop type (potato vs. cabbage) in a single year significantly affected wee...
