FSPM2020: Towards Computable Plants
9th International Conference on
FUNCTIONAL-STRUCTURAL PLANT MODELS
5-9 October 2020
FSPM2020 - Toward Computable Plants
Welcome to the website of FSPM2020. The 9th International Conference on Functional-Structural Plant Models (FSPM2020) will be held as virtual conference, October 5-9, 2020. FSPM2020 aims to gather scientists working in the multi-disciplinary field of plant modelling and its applications. FSPM2020 will target methodological innovations for modelling of 3D-structures at various organization levels of plants, simulation of plant-microclimate interactions, and novel applications in functional-structural plant modelling, centered on questions in plant science, agriculture, horticulture, forestry and ecology.
FSPM2020 will focus on the following themes
-
Functional-structural plant modelling
-
Crop physiology x architecture in a changing world
-
Model-assisted plant phenotyping
-
Cross-talk from cell to ecosystem
-
Plant-to-plant interactions
-
Modelling organ development
-
Theoretical aspects of plant modelling
-
Links to crop modelling and decision support
-
Model parameterization and evaluation
-
LiDar-based canopy reconstruction
-
New software and latest applications
-
Teaching FSPM
-
Outreach of FSPM community
Organisers
FSPM2020 is jointly organised by the Hochschule Geisenheim University and the University of Hannover.
