Model description
AmapSim is a model linked to its simulation software that aims at modelling plants architectural development based on a cellular automaton associated to each growing bud of plants. The state variable of this automaton mimics buds vigourness (physiological age) along their life. Every base processes of buds (apical growth, branching and aging) are indexed to this state variable. The plant structure is parametrized after mathematical analysis lead on field measurements and according to botanical kmowledge.
