Editorial: Virtual Plants: Modeling Plant Architecture in Changing Environments
There is increasing awareness that crop productivity is not only a function of the interaction between plants and their environment, but is also determined by the interplay between form and function. The need to better understand and even quantify this complex interaction has led to a new category of models of plant growth and development, often named virtual plants or functional-structural pla...
متن کاملEditorial: Plant Competition in a Changing World
Climate change and biological invasions place new challenges on plants, their development, fitness, and competitiveness. To develop and evaluate strategies for sustainable ecosystem management and to respond to biodiversity loss, we need mechanistic understanding of the changes that are occurring in plant communities. Underlying drivers of change are plant–plant interactions which include compe...
متن کاملModeling Population Dynamics in Changing Environments
Discrete replicator dynamics view evolution as a coordination game played among genes. While previous models of discrete replicator dynamics do not consider environments that respond to the mixed strategy that a population plays, our model incorporates a feedbackbased payoff matrix, which depends on the frequency distribution of alleles. In this model, we construct an environment that is compos...
متن کاملAristotle and adding an evolutionary perspective to models of plant architecture in changing environments
Why do plants grow the way that they do? According to Aristotle, there are four kinds of causes, or four fundamentally different ways of answering “why” questions such as this (Aristotle, 1984; Falcon, 2012). In reductionist science, answers to “why” questions typically relate to one of the first three of Aristotle’s causes, regarding changes in substances (material cause), in form (formal caus...
متن کاملMulti-resolution Virtual Environments Modeling
In this paper the virtual environment is considered as an informational space, populated by entities which interact with each other. The concepts of perception and action fields, which bounds the virtual environment’s entities, will be central in our discussion. More, the notion of informational link is introduced as a basis for inter-entities communication, and will represent the basis for an ...
