Model description
This FSPM constitutes a set of morphogenetic rules describing the dynamics of organ formation and extension, as well as the topology of organs to form the next higher scale, that of the plant individual. The model is coupled with a Java implementation of a leaf photosynthesis model, allowing the computation of CO2-assimilation for each leaf, based on climatic input parameters. This model focuses on the metabolism of carbon and nitrogen. It includes the LEAF-C3 photosynthesis model.
