摘要：> 0.98). However, the NSG performed better than the BSG based on the calculated value of Akaike's information criterion (AIC). The NSG provided a consistent estimate for when maximum biomass occurred; this suggests that the parameters of the BSG may have less biological importance as compared to those in the NSG. In summary, the new sigmoidal growth model is superior to the beta sigmoidal growth model, which can be applied to capture the growth trajectory of various plant species regardless of the initial biomass values at the beginning of a growth period. Findings of this study will be helpful to understand the growth trajectory of different plant species regardless of their initial biomass values at the beginning of a growth period.
