Growth and yield modeling has a long history in forestry. Methods of measuring the growth
of uneven-aged forest stands have evolved from those developed in France and Switzerland …

Carbon assimilates flow from" source" areas such as leaves to" sink" areas where they are
taken up and used. The assimilate fluxes from sources to sinks are mainly dependent on the …

Rhododendron delavayi Franch. is globally famous as an ornamental plant. Its distribution in
southwest China covers several different habitats and environments. However, not much …

Since about twenty years, hydraulic architecture (ha) is, doubtless, the major trend in the
domain of plants (and especially trees) water relations. This review encompasses the main …

The percentage of above‐canopy Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (% PPFD) was
measured at 0, 50 and 100 cm above the forest floor and above the main understory …

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 …

Terrestrial lidar (TLiDAR) has been used increasingly over recent years to assess tree
architecture and to extract metrics of forest canopies. Analysis of TLiDAR data remains a …

Background and Aims Physiological and architectural plant models have originally been
developed for different purposes and therefore have little in common, thus making combined …

Computational plant models or 'virtual plants' are increasingly seen as a useful tool for
comprehending complex relationships between gene function, plant physiology, plant …

A plant is made up of components of various types and shapes. The geometrical and
topological organisation of these components defines the plant architecture. Before the early …
