GreenLab equation summary
-
Starting from the production equation of the classic process-based model, the GreenLab model is introduced,
scaling down the equation to the single plant.
- Expression of the classic crop model at single plant level
- Biomass allocation. Plant demand
- Organ weight. Organ sizes. Leaf Area
- Explicit production equation and its interpretation
- Development equations (reminder)
- The GreenLab full model
Biomass allocation to a given organ is then introduced. Summarizing the allocation of all organs leads to the definition of plant demand.
At organ level, the successive biomass increments define its geometry. We can thus specifically define the leaf area.
Moreover, the formalisation of organogenesis allows us to define an equation for the number of phytomers produced.
To sum up, the GreenLab model is expressed as a set of 6 basic equations.
