Understanding how the simulation works
PlantStudio is a simulation model of herbaceousLVPPOU (non-tree) plant growth based on
▪ the scientific literature on plant growth,
▪ a simplification of essential processes,
▪ an attempt to mimic the way plants grow and change over their life cycles, and
▪ an attempt to encompass many types of herbaceous plants.
See our note on botanical strengths and limitations1R_5ZID>main for a list of plant structures this version of PlantStudio does and does not simulate well.
