The behavioural ecology of climbing plants. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2015 Climbing plants require an external support to grow vertically and enhance light acquisition. Vines that find a suitable support have greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate. Therefore, the location of a suitable support is a key process in the life history of climbing plants.

Interactive Modeling and Authoring of Climbing Plants [PDF]
Computer Graphics Forum, 2017 We present a novel system for the interactive modeling of developmental climbing plants with an emphasis on efficient control and plausible physics response. A plant is represented by a set of connected anisotropic particles that respond to the surrounding environment and to their inner state.

Wind Forces in Overgrown Rope Façades
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2021 Modern cities face a climatic problem due to the high proportion of sealed surfaces that increase the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Green surfaces offer a way to mitigate the UHI effect, as they positively influence the thermal energy storage and air ...
