VS-Cambium-Developer

a new forecasting algorithm of cambium functioning

About

VS-CD model id a submodel (VS-CD) of the process-based tree-ring VS-model. It is a new algorithm of cambial functioning without additional year-to-year parameter adjustment. This model is based on the hypothesis that external climatic factors regulate the concentration of the differentiation inhibitor in each cambial cell, gradually decreasing with the distance from the initial cell. A differentiation inhibitor is defined as a hypothetical substance that promotes cambium formation. Practically, this can be expressed as the balance of auxins and cytokinins or the balance of substrates (sugars) and enzymes, etc.

For all questions concerning the launch and operation of the application, please contact the developer: Daria Belousova, daryadarya1611@gmail.com.

Versions

Web application for cambium development forecasting

Web app has a tools for user to modelling cell production for a period of years. For each year it calculates cell production and cambial kinetics.

Developed widgets (process visualization tools) make it possible to track the cambial zone growth dynamics with high-resolution accuracy less than one day.

In progress

R script for cambium development forecasting

It is a set of functions to simulate a radial row development in every season for a period. There are also available a workflow example. There a following functions for a period of years (output is possible in a data frame format by default)

  1. Estimating cell production in every growing season
  2. Estimating growth season length for every season
  3. Estimating inhibitor supply for every season

Please, read readme.txt before running an app.

Web application for cambium development modelling

Modelling available only for a given year. Cambial zone development is visualized step-by-step using the “ribbon” diagram and binary tree graph.

Please, read readme.txt before running an app.
