The objective of this work was to indicate some possible ecophysiological manipulations, based on experiments of plant architectural traits. Yerbamate, rubber tree and grapevine plants were measured in field and laboratory, and their 3D mockups were constructed using V-Plants and PlantGLViewer softwares. Indications about growth and environmental impact analysis were discussed, applying diverse simulations in modeling process.
