Random – Within Unit Area |
The horizontal positions of plants within the unit area
of soil are given as a random function. The random numbers are generated
by an algorithm, which is initiated by a parameter xx
(RandomNumberSeed). Plants are not allowed to intercept
radiation from a larger area than unity. |
Fixed – Unrestricted Area |
The horizontal positions of plants are fixed, defined
by the parameter xi (XposCenter).
Plants are allowed to intercept radiation from a larger area than unity,
which represent a plant that has a larger surface canopy cover than the
soil ("Single multiple canopy"). |
