Ortomatic

In the Orto Botanico of Siena there are laboratories focused on the research on some plant species. It is interesting to evaluate the effect of intraspecific competition in terms of growth, germination and the allocation of nutritional resources. At a density of seeds corresponds a certain rate of competition. Increasing competition, the biomass of each plant is reduced: an interesting problem is to generate models that estimate the optimal seeding density that maximizes the biomass.
