In this page you find the reference paper for DigR, some academic presentations to explain root architecture, DigR model, DigR use into Xplo environment and some training sessions.
Reference paper
digr_barczi_al2018.compressed.pdf
List of presentations about root systems Architecture, Observations, Modelling, Simulation and Exploration.
You can download them to get every informations about root-systems architecture, growth and development modelling, DigR model and AMAPstudio software environment.
In each presentation, we introduce parameters which are used to model 3D root-system architecture.
- The values of parameters are then saved in a parameter file.
- This parameter file will be used by DigR simulator in Xplo sofware to build a 3D root-system mockup
- See Parameter Files section to get theses parameter files.
For each parameter of DigR model described in the presentations, we detail its meaning and how to use it.
NOTE : if you want to download these files, do “right click” with mouse. By default, they will be opened in a new window (pdf format).
