MELiSSA Higher Plants Compartment Modeling using EcosimPro 2004-01-2351
This paper introduces two modeling approaches in consideration for the MELiSSA Higher Plants Compartment. This includes an empirical light response curve modeling approach and the Modified Energy Cascade (MEC) model. The MEC model was translated into EcosimPro and evaluated for its performance under a range of environment conditions. The model demonstrated an adequate response to changes on the environmental conditions (temperature, CO2 concentration and light flux) predicting the gas exchange (O2 production, CO2 consumptions, and water vapor transpiration)
