Abstract:
We introduce a new method for the visualization and Simulation of competing plant root systems in which the overlapping area of the depleted-zone between competing root systems is quantatively found.We visualize different conditions for the resource competition between plant root systems. Additionally, we present an improved model for the competition for light that is dependant upon the translucency of the plant foliage and the density of the plant skeleton. Finally, we simulate and visualize competition between a healthy plant and a plant that at one point
in time becomes sick.
