FSPMs are particularly suited to analyse problems in which the spatial structure of the plant or its canopy is an essential factor to explain, e.g., plant competition (intra-plant, inter-plant, inter-species) and the effects of plant configuration and plant manipulation (e.g., pruning and harvesting) on yield and produce quality. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book describes the philosophy of functional-structural plant modelling and several tools for making FSPMs; it outlines methods for measuring essential parameters, including those pertaining to plant structure. As FSPMs offer new opportunities to model sink-source interactions, the physiological theory and modelling approaches regarding partitioning of carbon are given specific attention. Examples of application of FSPMs include wheat modelling in the context of remote sensing and the analysis of predator-prey insect interactions on glasshouse plants. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be useful for scientists and advanced students interested in innovative approaches in plant and crop modelling. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49634870526225,"sku":"GOR011063957","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50365278617873,"sku":"CIN0835608522G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50369673527569,"sku":"CIN0835608522VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0835608522.jpg?v=1750746900"},{"product_id":"village-of-the-water-spirits-book-michael-ortiz-hill-9780882145532","title":"The Village of the Water Spirits","description":"In researching the patterns black people's dreams about white people, Ortiz Hill dug into the literature of the African worlds that black Americans came out of and found that those worlds were intact in their nightly dreams. Weaving scholarship and interviews with the Shona medicine man Mandaza Augustine Kandemwa, Ortiz Hill offers the recognition that, at the most intimate level, Africa has kept faith with the African-American soul.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370407072017,"sku":"CIN0882145533G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51606066528529,"sku":"CIN0882145533VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0882145533.jpg?v=1750788190"},{"product_id":"gathering-in-the-names-book-michael-ortiz-hill-9781882670239","title":"Gathering in the Names","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50823335641361,"sku":"CIN188267023XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/188267023X.jpg?v=1750802934"},{"product_id":"craft-of-compassion-at-the-bedside-of-the-ill-book-michael-ortiz-hill-9780972071871","title":"The Craft of Compassion at the Bedside of the Ill","description":"This is an updated and expanded version of Mr. Ortiz Hill's previous book, Conspiracies of Kindness, and is written especially for medical professionals and those in the helping professions, as well as students learning these professions. In this book, Ortiz Hill includes several additional interviews with medical doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals, as well as those involved in the world of healing, who speak about how compassion is an essential quality for maintaining their own health, mental and physical, as well as insuring the care they provide for their clients is of optimal value. From his own experiences as a nurse, Ortiz Hill creates a web of achingly beautiful stories that brilliantly show us how richness, compassion and wisdom can arise while encountering the most challenging circumstances of severely ill and dying patients in an institutional setting. This book is essential reading for anyone in the helping professions who risks burnout and compassion fatigue.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52631778525457,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52631779115281,"sku":"CIN0972071873G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780972071871.jpg?v=1761827792"},{"product_id":"dreaming-the-end-of-the-world-book-michael-ortiz-hill-9780882145563","title":"Dreaming the End of the World","description":"Ortiz Hill looks closely into one hundred end-of-world dreams and uncovers the myths ruling our fears and hopes. In his foreword to this new edition, Ortiz Hill calls September 11, 2001 the blade of initiation, dividing who we were from who we are called to be . . . I invite the reader to the wilderness, to the beginning of the apocalyptic rite of passage . . . I offer this book with a single caveat: Beware the seduction of the image, mine and others, for the myth of apocalypse seeks to enthrall us into an epic fiction with very real consequences. Beware the fascination with what is larger than life, this vulgar Passion Play that would crucify the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52743597687057,"sku":"GOR014607826","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780882145563.jpg?v=1763496055"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-michael-ortiz-hill.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
