Resource versus Space Competitions in a Plant Growth Model

A. El Hamidi

2013

Abstract

In this tutorial note, we present a spatiotemporal model for plant growth, combining two different mechanisms of competition. The first mechanism concerns the biomass growth via resources while the second concerns the space-biomass expansion. The pure time mechanism is described by the standard underlying Kolmogorov model for interacting populations. The spatial mechanism, more adapted to plant growth, expresses the motility of each species and their capability to exclude the others from its territory.
