Model description
The L-ALMOND model use L-systems to simultaneously simulate the architectural development and carbohydrate dynamics (assimilation, transport, distribution, storage and remobilization) of growing almond trees. L-ALMOND simulates the architectural growth of three almond cultivars (Nonpareil, Aldrich, and Winters)
