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.

 

Highlights of FSPM2020

• Live keynote talks on the latest developments in plant modelling

• On demand software presentations for innovative modelling approaches

• On demand orals and posters covering theoretical and applied topics in plant and crop modelling
