Stem straightness defects are often associated with heterogeneities in wood structure in relation to tree tropisms. This paper presents a numerical model which is dedicated to simulate the biomechanical behaviour of growing trees. A simplified description of tree structure, separating trunk and crown, has been used in order to perform future calculations at the stand level. The model is based on the Transfer Matrix Method, which was adjusted under an incremental form to compute the evolution of trunk biomechanics during growth. Deflections due to self-weight distribution and straightening up reactions, which are associated with maturation strains of reaction wood cells, were considered. This model has been implemented in the CAPSIS software...
