植物仅仅在限制距离上与邻居一起交往,因此本地条件具有为植物的大意义。在这研究,一个空间地明确的、基于个人的模型被构造响应轻竞争在工厂高度的适应粘性上探索尺寸变化和空间结构的效果。在一家工厂维持的模型,它在最佳的价值的高度随单个工厂经验丰富的轻竞争的紧张的增加增加以便最大化它的生长率,和这最佳的高度。当人口的空间模式是不一致的或在单个工厂之中有尺寸变化时,与对方不同的个人的高度生长曲线在本地轻环境由于差别变化,并且也在到在单个工厂之中的高度生长的 photosynthate 的分配有变化。没有所有工厂将在上收敛的 S 字高度或高度生长策略。我们的结果显示对轻比赛的工厂高度生长反应的粘性应该在单个水平被考虑,他们在在工厂人口产生高度和高度生长策略的差异为空间模式和邻居效果的重要性强烈争论。
Plants only interact with neighbors over restricted distances, so local conditions are of great significance for plants. In this study, a spatially-explicit, individual-based model was constructed to explore the effects of size variation and spatial structure on adaptive plasticity of plant height in response to light competition. In the model a plant maintains its height at an optimal value in order to maximize its growth rate, and this optimal height increases with the increase of the intensity of light competition experienced by the individual plant. When the spatial pattern of the population is non-uniform or there is size variation among individual plants, the height growth curves of individuals different from each other vary due to the differences in the local light environment, and there is also variation in the allocation of photosynthate to height growth among the individual plants. There is no ESS height or height growth strategy on which all plants will converge. Our results indicate that the plasticity of plants' height growth reactions to the light competition should be considered at the individual level and they argue strongly for the importance of the spatial pattern and neighborhood effects in generating the diversity of heights and height growth strategies in plant population.
