Functional–structural plant models (FSPMs) explicitly describe individual plant architecture, making this approach suitable for unravelling plant–plant interactions in complex canopies. Barillot et al. developed a...
Plant architecture is important for light capture. In the field, plants compete with neighbours for light. In a competing system, game theory is needed to consider advantageous strategy (evolutionarily stable strategy;...
Although being tall is advantageous in light competition, plant height growth is often similar among dominant plants in crowded stands. Nagashima and Hikosaka manipulate plant height of Chenopodium album by lifting or...
