Production-Expansion

Interpretation


Equation interpretation

    Understanding equation terms


      Q(n) =   E(n) . Sp   (   1 - exp  ( -   k   Σi = 1 ; Tb   Σj = 1 ; i     Nb (i)   φb(j)   Q ( n - i + j - 1 )   ) )  
      r e . Sp D (n - i + j)





      Terms related to environmental conditions
        E(n): the aggregate variable standing for the environmental resource conditions at cycle n, typically LUE and PAR
        r represents the water resource, proportional to the Water Use Efficiency inverse (WUE-1)

      Terms related to development (plant architecture)
        Nb(i) : the number of blades appeared at cycle n
        Note that D(n), the plant demand at cycle n, involves the number of organs No in expansion in cycle n

      Terms related to organ competition (biomass allocation)
        φb(j) : the blade sink at age j
        Note that:
        * D(n), the plant demand at cycle n, involves the sink function of all organs No in expansion in cycle n
        * Q(n) is the fresh biomass produced at cycle n, and more precisely the Supply to Demand ratio Q(n-1) / D(n) defines the potential biomass increment of each organ.

      Terms specific to the plant (or plant species)
        Sp is the projection area
        k : the Beer law extinction coefficient
        e : blade thickness
