Summary:
Major plants which produce large seed crops usually show alternate bearing, i.e. a heavy yield year is followed by extremely light ones, and vice versa. This causes the cascading effect throughout the ecosystem, and may cause the serious health problem for human beings. Therefore, it is very important to understand this natural phenomenon. In this paper we consider the resource budget model of plant energy resources, which characterizes the ecological alternate bearing phenomenon in fruit crops, in which high and low yields occur in alternate years. We study this model in detail.
