摘要: In this paper we discuss three approaches to the modelling of tree crown development. These are experimental (i. e. regressive), theoretical analytical) and computer-simulational [by L(indenmayer)-system] modelling. The common assumption these is that a may be regarded as fractal object, being collection self-similar objects combines properties two- three-dimensional bodies. We show measure can used link between mathematical models growth light propagation through canopy. approach using Lindenmayer computer system allows development visualized model calibrated according data. Different stages above-mentioned described. data for spruce, description variant presented.
