More fine-grained models can be tied to a specific plant organ.

For instance, a model computing a leaf's surface area depending on its age would operate at the "leaf" scale, and be called **for every leaf** at every timestep. On the other hand, a model computing the plant's total leaf area only needs to be run once per timestep, and can be run at the :Plant scale.

This is a major difference between a single-scale simulation and a multi-scale one. By default, any model in a single-scale simulation will only run **once** per timestep. However, in multi-scale, if a plant has several instances of an organ type -say it has a hundred leaves- then any model operating at the :Leaf scale will by default run one hundred times per timestep, unless it is explicitely controlled by another model (which can happen in hard dependency configurations).

Those models all operate on a simplified model of a single plant, without any organ-local information. We can therefore consider them to be working at the 'whole plant' scale. Their variables also operate at that "plant" scale, so there is no need to map any variable to other scales.
