“…The model was designed in the 1990s [25,26] and was largely described by Le Moguédec and Dhôte [27]. In brief, the model uses a top-down approach to predict forest growth over three-year growth intervals.…”

Due to the fact that forest ecosystems can potentially mitigate the impact of climate change, the carbon balance of managed forests has caught the attention of a large scientific community. Some authors conclude that extending rotation lengths would actually favour the climate change mitigation effect since more carbon would be stored in the biomass on the average. However, when the occurrence of catastrophic disturbances such as windstorms is not considered, the advantage of extending the rotation length might be overestimated for some species. In this study, we addressed this issue by coupling a growth model, a windstorm damage model and a carbon assessment tool. The evolution of an even-aged European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stand was simulated under three different rotation lengths. Simulations including stochastic windstorm events were run and compared with deterministic simulations with no catastrophic disturbance. Our results indicate that when disturbances caused by storms were not taken into account, the carbon balance was actually overestimated in some cases and that this overestimation increased with the rotation length. In our case study, omitting windstorm damage resulted in an overestimation as large as 8% for the longer rotation length. Nevertheless, when windstorm damage was taken into account in the simulation, the longer rotation length still stored more carbon on the average than shorter rotation lengths. However, the marginal gain in carbon storage induced by the increase of the rotation length was reduced.

“…Lafond et al (2012) propose an algorithm to reconstruct past harvesting diameter distributions in selection systems, for implementation in growth simulators when insufficient information is available. Le Moguédec and Dhôte (2012) describe in detail the distance-independent tree-centred Fagacées growth and yield model for sessile oak (Q. petraea) and beech (F. sylvatica), which first computes growth at the stand level and in a second stage allocates growth between the individual trees. Feng et al (2012) combine an individual tree architectural model for black pine (Pinus nigra nigra) with an empirical stand model, to simulate individual tree structure development according to silvicultural scenarios, with an application to whole stand visualization.…”

PlantGL: A Python-based geometric library for 3D plant modelling at different scales

In this paper, we present PlantGL, an open-source graphic toolkit for the creation, simulation and analysis of 3D virtual plants. This C++ geometric library is embedded in the Python language which makes it a powerful user-interactive platform for plant modeling in various biological application domains.PlantGL makes it possible to build and manipulate geometric models of plants or plant parts, ranging from tissues and organs to plant populations. Based on a scene graph augmented with primitives dedicated to plant representation, several methods are provided to create plant architectures from either field measurements or procedural algorithms. Because they are particularly useful in plant design and analysis, special attention has been paid to the definition and use of branching system envelopes. Several examples from different modelling applications illustrate how PlantGL can be used to construct, analyse or manipulate geometric models at different scales ranging from tissues to plant communities.
