A new methodology based on sensitivity analysis to simplify the recalibration of functional–structural plant models in new conditions

摘要

Background and AimsFunctional–structural plant models (FSPMs) describe explicitly the interactions between plants and their environment at organ to plant scale. However, the high level of description of the structure or model mechanisms makes this type of model very complex and hard to calibrate. A two-step methodology to facilitate the calibration process is proposed here.
