Model description
This model was designed to simulate a complete desciption of plant architecture from the elementatary to the canopy scale. It was used to estimate light interception by 3-D mocks-up. The model included two levels of information: (1) a typology of modules based on morphological and developmental characteristics; and (2) a set of basic processes (initiation and growth). The model enabled to link static and dynamic observations of the plant and to scale the global consequences of the basic processes up to the whole plant.
