Morphogenesis
Storyboard
It models the physical principles that govern plant form: the scaling relationships between dimensions (allometry), the partitioning of biomass between root, stem and leaf, the optimization of architecture for light capture (LAI and self-shading), and metabolic scaling laws. The shape of the plant is not arbitrary: it responds to principles of physical optimizationminimizing the cost of transportation, maximizing light collectionmodulated by environmental signals.
