- Method / resource The model simulated phytomer demography, leaf area dynamics and root growth accurately under weak competition.
- Method / resource The model predicted competition-driven total plant biomass changes.
- Observation Species differed in sensitivity to defoliation.
- Method / resource The model predicted that creeping species better sustained regular defoliation.
- Observation Species balance changed with competition and management and depended strongly on the species pair.
- Method / resource The model captured differences in community dynamics.
