As a result, food security is and will be a primary concern, especially for developing countries with huge population and limited arable land resources. To sustain food supplies, it is urgent to conduct research towards a second green revolution, which will build high crop yields by means of developing super-high yield varieties and optimizing management practices. The functional-structural plant models have the potential to provide robust tools for designing crop ideotype and best management regimes. A functional-structural plant model is built up by integrating ecophysiological knowledge and plant structural growth dynamics. It can be used to simulate the resource acquisition, biomass production and partitioning in plants at organ, plant, and plant stand levels. Thus it can be used to design and optimize the morphological traits for new crop varieties so that they can capture resources (e.g. sunlight) more efficiently. Developing countries, such as China, are facing the problems of irrigation water shortage, low soil fertility, and abuse of inorganic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Optimized field management regimes are required to solve these troubles. And these management regimes can be achieved with simulation by plant models, which incorporate the function and structure of plant's aerial part and root system, coupling with micro-environmental models e.g. soil water and solute transportation models.","PeriodicalId":315124,"journal":{"name":"2006 Second International Symposium on Plant Growth Modeling and Applications","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121425862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shadows of all trees on the plat ground are generated through the stencil buffer, shadow projection and a mixture of the shadow with grass texture. Different billboards are chosen on the viewing direction and the lighting direction, so that the effect of object torsion due to poor image direction is avoided.

Measuring bidirectional reflection over reflectance hemisphere is a very complex and time-consuming work. Considering that leaf's reflection is a linear combination of specular and diffuse component, where specular reflection is centered on mirror direction in the principal plane and diffuse reflection is uniform regardless of directions, we made an attempt to parameterize Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) over reflectance hemisphere from angular distribution of reflection in its principal plane. Angular reflection of maize (Zea mays L) leaves over reflectance hemisphere was measured with a custom-designed device. The leaves were illuminated with two wavelengths of 650 nm and 830 nm, at three incidence angles of 0deg, 30deg and 60deg. Reflection measured in the principal plane was used to model BRDF with a physically based BRDF model. They were used to predict the reflection in other directions outside the principal plane. The predicted reflection was in a good agreement with those measured. It indicates that reflection distribution in the principal plane carries sufficient information to characterize the BRDF over hemisphere.","PeriodicalId":315124,"journal":{"name":"2006 Second International Symposium on Plant Growth Modeling and Applications","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131320935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Capsis Platform accepts a great number of model types: from mono specific stand level or distanceindependent tree models to heterogeneous individual based models, spatially explicit or not.

A new parameter estimation method of two-stage error-in-variable model (TSEM) for nonlinear simultaneous equations is used to estimate the parameters of ISGM to ensure the parameter estimation is unbiased and all the variables in the equations are compatible. The ISGM can be used to simulate pure even-aged stand growth with different values of site index, stand density, different thinning methods, and to draw a stand density control chart with the ForStat software (in Chinese) and in the Capsis platform (in English).

The model is based on the theory of discrete dynamic system. In this article, we present dynamic equations of the plant growth. It helps us explain rhythm generation and control the behaviour of the system.

For this purpose, each individual in the stand is assigned a disk-shaped zone SP representing its assumed crown projection and competitive neighbours are defined as plants having overlapping disks. We combine the foliage distribution functions of neighbours to compute the probabilities of dominance and thus the exposed leaf area for each plant. The computation is fully detailed in the case of uniform distributions (Poisson model). In functional- structural models of plant growth, the exposed leaf area thus obtained can be used to compute biomass production.

A simple architecture and simulation scheme are proposed to synchronise the water cycles updating (daily based) and the plant growth cycles. A voxel space is used to store the water resource, and layers hold the interfaces between the environmental data and landscape components. The prototype simulator is operative on PC and HPCs with in-line and off-line visualisation tools.
