Chen et al. investigate the impact of a summer water stress on tree development and organ growth in three apple cultivars at tree, shoot and organ scales. A common response was found: water stress accelerated tree...
Knowledge of plant architecture allows for the retrospective study of plant development, and through modelling and simulation this development can be linked to environmental constraints and to predict responses to...
Tree form assessments using the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) have increased during recent years, but many existing methods are limited to small-sized trees. Based on the assumption that architectural trait variations...
Although fruit temperature is known to be a key parameter involved in fruit quality, sunburn injury and pest development, no specific modelling approach to it has been developed. Saudreau et al. generate a model based...
Stochastic architecture and biomass partitioning Realistic modelling of the topological development of a tree stand is difficult owing to the variability of branching patterns. Using data from Mongolian Scots pine...
