The desirable microclimate created by the cushion is not just desirable for the plant itself – in fact these plants have been shown to provide habitat for other plants, which shelter under the canopy of the cushion, as well as a variety of microorganisms and arthropods. Studies on various spe...
For these purposes, trees are mainly represented by their canopy volume and position using either a simple geometry [127] or voxels [26]. In this way, environmental engines like ENVI-met [128] and Grasshopper plug-in PANDO [129] can simulate the tree’s shading and air flow affected by ...
