MetINFO - LIGNUM Model

LIGNUM Model   LIGNUM model for structural dynamics of trees. The tree in LIGNUM consists of components that are similar to real tree parts. Both metabolism (i.e., photosynthesis, respiration etc.) and crown architecture are accounted for.

In this Metinfo Growth LIGNUM - service
you can get acquinted to the main concept and structure of the LIGNUM model. Also some examples of trees simulated with it are presented:

• Structure
• Growth Rules
• The Light Model
