A « Growth Cycle » based on plant organogenesis
Development of new architectural units:
continuous : agronomic plants or tropical trees
rhythmic : trees in temperate regions.
Organogenesis Cycle = Growth Cycle, time discretization for the model
Phytomer = botanical elementary unit, spatial discretization step
For continuous growth, the number of phytomers depends linearly on the sum of daily temperatures.
Functional landscapes in ecology
Simulation and visualization of ecological process dynamics at landscape scale (from 100 to 10000 km²). E.g.: water ressource allocation.
prototype : C++ and OpenGL (glut), multi-platform
Visualization of dynamics and image post-treatments
