A 3-D functional–structural grapevine model that couples the dynamics of water transport with leaf gas exchange

摘要

Background and AimsPredicting both plant water status and leaf gas exchange under various environmental conditions is essential for anticipating the effects of climate change on plant growth and productivity. This study developed a functional–structural grapevine model which combines a mechanistic understanding of stomatal function and photosynthesis at the leaf level (i.e. extended Farqhuhar–von Caemmerer–Berry model) and the dynamics of water transport from soil to individual leaves (i.e. Tardieu–Davies model).
