摘要：Dynamic modelling language for three-dimensional simulation has been used in various academic fields. Modelling tree growth constructs natural tree shapes or canopies in three dimensions based on several stand structural parameters. Many researchers have tried to simulate tree growth in various approaches. One of them is L-System developed by Lindenmayer in 1968. L-System describes the fractal branching structure of trees based on the local production rules, which are applied iteratively and simultaneously to create a complex branching system in simple grammar language. The three-dimensional model of trees is developed to fulfil research needs, such as estimating Leaf Area Index (LAI), canopy structure, and tree biomass, in simulating tree structures and canopy shapes as the tree grows under different environmental conditions. They could be useful to understand the physical responds of trees on environments. In this research we developed a three-dimensional tree model of Melaleuca sp. This species of tree is known as a rehabilitation plant which can grow under various environmental conditions such as drought or flood. The structural parameters of trees for modelling are derived from the photogrammetric measurements and input into L-System for the three-dimensional tree model. The result from this research would be a basic research to understand the physiological and ecological responses of Melaleuca sp tree s for different environmental condition
