Figure 5.
Sensitivity analysis of fungal growth parameters. (a) Relative change in hyphal length owing to varying the hyphal lifetime (standard value htl = 6 d). (b) Relative change in hyphal length due to varying the branching rate (standard value b = 0.5 d−1). (c) Relative change in hyphal length owing to varying the distance between entry points (standard value de = 0.1 cm). Two variants of inoculum placement are considered, concentrated (results shown in blue) and dispersed (results shown in black). Results for both scenarios overlap in (b) and (c) and thus only one is shown. Solid and dotted lines represent mean and standard deviations of 100 realizations of a 21-day-old root system.
