Plant growth modelling and applications (Viewpoint)


Figure 1
Modelling plant growth allows the testing of hypotheses and simulation of experiments that could otherwise take years in field conditions. Fourcaud et al. (pp. 1053–1063) propose that plant architecture and sink activity should be pushed to the centre of plant growth models.

Models for forest ecosystem management: a European perspective (Review)


Figure 2
Growth models are the most innovative planning tools available. They integrate system knowledge and scale it to levels relevant for management. Pretzsch et al. (pp. 1065–1087) identify five different paradigms, assess models suitable for goal setting or decision support, and develop guidelines for . . . [Full Text of this Article]
