====== Source-sink model with central pool ======


At the example of a sunflower model developed as a teaching tool at the Bachelor level, we will introduce here the coupling of the previously introduced photosynthesis model with a simple allocation model based on the central pool concept and redistribution of assimilates according to the relative sink strength method introduced by Leo Marcelis. 
You can find a presentation with details on the model {{:workshops:summer_school_25:03_tuesday:sourcesink.pdf|here}}, the sunflower model is available for download {{ :tutorials:sunflower2025.gsz |here}}, and the standalone photosynthesis model by Kim and Lieth is available {{:tutorials:klps.gsz|here}}

Note that this is a preliminary version in which the actual growth rate is not yet fully functional. We are working on a more stable version, so stay tuned - or not ;-) !.
