Turgor pressure within a plant cell represents the key to mechanistically describe plant growth, combining the effect of both water and carbon availability. The high level of spatio-temporal variation and diurnal...

How Important Is Leaf Realism in Functional-Structural Plant Modelling?
Making a realistic plant in a computer model is possible, but is it necessary. All the computations generating the plant slow down the speed of any simulation. As a result it’s common to use simple geometric shapes for...
Modelling leaf spectral properties in a soybean canopy
Accurate modelling of light–plant interactions requires knowledge on how light interacts with leaves within the canopy, which can be difficult to measure and model in dynamic and heterogeneous canopies. Coussement et al...
