Functional-Structural Plant Modelling in Crop Production

This book describes the philosophy of functional-structural plant modelling and several tools for making FSPMs; it outlines methods for measuring essential parameters, including those pertaining to plant structure. As FSPMs offer new opportunities to model sink-source interactions, the physiological theory and modelling approaches regarding partitioning of carbon are given specific attention.

The book is for anyone interested in innovative approaches to plant and crop modelling.
