Abstract
The dynamic growth model was developed with the objective to simulate the seasonal variation of above and below ground biomass of a monospecific stand of Phragmites. Five state variables are selected depending on their importance to illustrate the plant growth. Life history of the plant was formulated except for the starting of growth and all parameters utilized were fixed for applications. The model was applied to experiments in Moravia, New South Wales, and Kasumigaura, where climatic conditions are completely different. Given the initial rhizome biomass, total global radiation, and daily mean temperature for the intended simulation period, the model allows a reliable evaluation of growth potential under various climatic conditions.The model can be used as a functional tool in predicting the biomass of Phragmites and further applications.
