SynthSys is the University of Edinburgh's research organisation in interdisciplinary, Synthetic and Systems Biology, founded in 2012 as the successor to the Centre for Systems Biology at Edinburgh (CSBE).

What is PlaSMo? PlaSMo stands for Plant Systems-biology Modelling Ensuring the achievements of yesterday's Mathematical Modellers will be available for the Systems Biologists of tomorrow.

Our aims

To identify plant mathematical models useful to the UK plant systems biology community, which are currently in a variety of legacy formats and in danger of being lost To represent these models in a declarative XML-based format, which is closer to the systems biology standard SBML To evaluate the behaviour ...

This is a very simple generic vegetation model, with just one state variable (plant biomass), and two processes: assimilation and respiration.   In the original paper, the model is used twice, once for the trees and once for the grass under the trees, with the grass receiving light not intercepted by the trees.   The model provided here is just for a single vegetation component.Related PublicationsMcMurtrie RE, Wolf L (1983). A model of competition between trees and grass for radiation, water and ...
