AMAPstudio: An editing and simulation software suite for plants architecture modelling

Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of the carbon and water fluxes at the tree scale inEucalyptusplantations using a metamodeling approach

“…However, they fail to simulate the local variability of tree functioning, which is a key issue for predicting the growth of individual trees in nonuniform forests or to study the impact of forest management practices such as thinning (but see Makela et al (2000) and Battaglia et al (2015) for examples of modeling approaches where simple rules are used to disaggregate the stand-level outputs between individual trees). There are some very detailed three-dimensional (3D), structural-functional models that simulate the transpiration, carbon budget, and growth of each tree (and even each leaf) in a stand (Dauzat et al 2001;Fernández et al 2011;Griffon and de Coligny 2014), but they are computationally intensive, making long-term simulations difficult.…”

Genetics and Genomics of Tree Architecture

“…Finally, the tallness of the forest tree species makes it difficult to characterize the architecture at a mature stage. Some indirect methods can serve for prediction of tree architecture using allometric equations or models, which can be available in editing and simulation software, such as AMAPstudio (Griffon & de Coligny, 2014). Such methods require to be calibrated on large amounts of data collected by reliable phenotyping methods, and could benefit from the technological and methodological improvements that are already available or under development for tree high-throughput phenotyping.…”

Editorial of the Special Issue of the 4th International Symposium on Plant Growth Modeling, Simulation, Visualization and Applications (PMA’12)

“…Technical characteristics of the open software suite AMAPstudio are presented (Griffon and de Coligny, 2014). This software was specifically developed to edit, visualize and analyse 3D plant architectures at the individual and population scales and can also host FSPM models.…”
