Computational simulation modelling of plants in complex biological, agricultural and ecological systems, including areas such as: •evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds in agricultural systems and the effect of different genetics and management strategies on the rate of this evolution •competition between species, individual plants, and parts of plants and the effect of spatial patterns on this competition •weed seed bank population dynamics and the effects of different seed biology and management strategies •seed dormancy, germination and persistence, and the influence of environmental factors and management options •the way that plant structure emerges over time in relationship with physiology and environment •the optimisation of land use sequencing and analysis of tactical and strategic decisions in agricultural systems, taking into account the effects of factors such as weeds, disease, plant nutrients, yields, economics and climate variability •water use, root architecture, drought and climate change, in relation to applications such as the prediction and management of the establishment and survival of annual and perennial crop and pasture plants in drought-susceptible environments, or the long-term health of natural ecosystems in the face of climate change •the spread of invasive biological organisms such as weeds, insects and plant diseases •predicting the fate of plant species under climate change, accounting for landscape characteristics, population dynamics and dispersal •constructing useful decision support systems for managing agricultural and natural ecosystems
