LIGNUM: General features
Simple structural units describe both structure and functioning of trees.
Carbon budget models the metabolism:
Annual net production is used to new growth.
Pipe model and functional balance steer growth.
Time step one growth period (one year).
LIGNUM: Structure
Capture the structure of a tree with simple structural units:
Tree Segment (TS)
Branching Point (BP)
Bud (B)
Axis (A)
LIGNUM: Tree Segment
Structure:
Dead heartwood (H)
Living sapwood (S)
Bark layer (BL)
Foliage (F)
Tree segment is the main functioning unit.
H S FBL
LIGNUM: Deciduous trees
Explicit leaves instead of cylindrical layer of foliage:
Leaf ellipse, use parameter to denote "degree of filling".
Track the 3D position of each leaf.
Dormant (suppressed) buds.
LIGNUM: Releasing suppressed buds
Maintain the structural integrityof the model:
Split the segment into two.
Insert a new branching point.
The released bud will become the terminating bud in the new axis.

LIGNUM: The Radiation Submodel
Standard overcast sky.
Divide the sky into sectors and assign each sector a radiant intensity.
Number of inclinations and azimuths can be defined by the user.

LIGNUM: The Radiation SubmodelConiferous trees:
Compare segments to compute the distances light beams travel in foliage.
Compute attenuations of radiation.
Compute intercepted radiation.
Compute photosynthesis.
Deciduous trees:
Compare leaves.

LIGNUM: Applications
Gliricidia sepium
Sugar maple
Scots pine
Mountainbirch
Scots pine
Scots pine and Jack pine the first two tree species implemented.
Proved the modeling approach feasible.
Modeled (published) trees 10 years old.
Mountain birch
Structural analysis of mountain birch
Based on detailed measurements done in Finnish Lapland
Position and orientation of each segment known.
Position of leaves known.
Gliricidia sepium
Nitrogen fixing tropical tree species used in agroforestry.
Study the optimal management (frequency of cuttings).
Analysis of Daily Sapflow
Sugar mapleStudy the survival and growth of sugar maple saplings in forest gaps.
Long term goal to develop new cutting guidelines for natural regeneration of sugar maple:
Size of the canopy openings
Frequency of cuttings
Modeling Sugar maple in forest gapsSt-Hilaire, Quebec
Typically when modeling tree species with LIGNUM the following growth processes are assessed:
Metabolism:
Photosynthesis, respiration.
Structural Dynamics:
Birth, growth and senescence of tree compartments.
Tree Architecture:
Currently ad hoc descriptions.
Modeling Gaps in St-Hilaire
Field data: radiation measurements and fish-eye photographs from the gaps.
Analysis of field data resulted masks (Closed Gap and Open Gap) that can be superimposed on SOC.

Concluding Remarks
To develop LIGNUM to a Forest Scientist's Workbench use simple, independent and easily customizable workbench components.
C++/OpenGL implementation is available on:
SGI IRIX, Linux, (Microsoft Windows NT).
Computer graphics aid understanding and presenting the results of simulations:
In the future the Virtual Reality can be used.
