Towards environment-sensitive virtual plants for agronomy and forestry
Recent developments in the botanical, physiological and mathematical analysis of plant architecture, and in computer modeling methods provide the knowledge, means and tools for modeling, simulating and visualizing the 3D development of plants and their morphological plasticity in spatially and temporally varying environments. Combined with other tools, such models can be used in agronomy, environment and forestry: for understanding and predicting plant development under varying conditions, and for deciphering the influence of genotype and environment, and of their complex interactions, on plant growth and structure; for predicting the quantity and quality of vegetal productions (forage, fruits, timber) according to alternative technical schedules; for estimating various plant variables (e.g. mass of carbon or of mineral elements stored into a plant or a crop), which are difficult to measure but are important for assessing the sustainability of agriculture or forestry; for assessing the sensitivity of natural or cultivated ecosystems to various hazards (e.g. storms, fires) and calibrating new measurement techniques (e.g. remote sensing, wood quality scanning); and for assessing the visual and biophysical impact of large scale projects (e.g. mine rehabilitation, urban landscapes).
