THE HELSINKI WORKSHOP ON FUNCTIONAL- STRUCTURAL TREE MODELS
December 12-13, 1996 , Saatytalo, Snellmanninkatu. 11,
Helsinki Finland
Workshop Announcement and Invitation of Presentations
OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP
The objective of this workshop is to review current
approaches and ongoing modelling work that allow the
integration of morphology and metabolism in plant models.
In accordance with this, the purpose of the meeting is
also to boost Finnish functional-structural tree
modelling.
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS
The meeting program consists of invited lectures and
voluntary contributions. There are still some space
available for voluntary presentations and computer
simulations (PC's Mac's and Sun Unix Workstations
available, please contact organisers about your specific
needs). If you would be interested in presenting
your work in the workshop, please send a short abstract
of your presentation at latest 4.10. 1996 to:
Risto Sievanen
The Finnish Forest Research Institute
P.O. Box 18, 01301 Vantaa
Finland
or preferably by email to:
risto.sievanen@metla.fi
We shall inform you of the acceptance of your presentation
at latest the 18th of October 1996.
Registration
We kindly ask you to inform us of your interest of
participating to the meeting at latest the 1.11. 1996.
However, due to the limited amount of space we have to
limit the number of participants to about 50 people. The
registration fee is 100 FIM which includes the abstracts
of the presentations and refreshments.
