Abstract

ECOPHYS is an ecophysiological whole-tree growth process model designed to simulate the growth of poplar in the establishment year. This microcomputer-based model may be used to test the influence of genetically determined physiological or morphological attributes on plant growth. This manual describes the installation, file structures, and operational procedures for using the model.

Keywords

Populus, poplar, whole-tree process model, short-rotation intensive culture, photosynthesis, carbon allocation
