A new study compares the accuracy of carbohydrate allocation and transport models for grapevine.
1D light models as accurate are as 3D at estimating dry matter
Researchers compare trade-offs between simplicity and accuracy when modelling greenhouse cucumber canopies.
Principles of resilient coding for plant ecophysiologists
Tired: Remembering if ‘ACi_sol_C_1.xlsx’ or ‘ACi_sol_D_v3.xlsx’ has correct parameter estimates. Wired: Using reproducible, scalable code to analyse data.

Forest above-ground volume assessments with terrestrial laser scanning: a ground-truth validation experiment in temperate, managed forests
Quantifying the Earth’s forest above-ground biomass (AGB) is indispensable for effective climate action and developing forest policy. Yet, current allometric scaling models (ASMs) to estimate AGB suffer several...
