An individual-based model for clonal plant dynamics

We propose an IBM for clonal plant dynamics, focusing on the effects of the network structure of the plants on the reproductive strategy of ramets. After some numerical tests we propose a large population approxima- tion as an advection-diffusion PDE for population densities.
