Decision support systems (DSS) have long been used in research, service provision and
extension. Despite the diversity of technological applications in which past agricultural DSS …

Plants react to their environment and to management interventions by adjusting
physiological functions and structure. Functional–structural plant models (FSPM), combine …

Cotton plants were grown in CO2‐controlled growth chambers in atmospheres of either 35
or 65 Pa CO2. A widely accepted model of C3 leaf photosynthesis was parameterized for …

The following review paper presents an overview of the current crop yield forecasting
methods and early warning systems for the global strategy to improve agricultural and rural …

Model studies focus experimental investigations to improve our understanding and
performance of systems. Concentrating on crop modelling, this book provides an …

Crop models are essential tools for analysing the effects of climate variability, change on
crop growth and development and the potential impact of adaptation strategies. Despite their …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses some crop simulation models in agronomic
systems. Many crop models or parts of crop models have been built to help the researcher …

Field manipulations of light, temperature, nutrients, and length of growing season in
directions simulating global environmental change altered biomass of the four most …

Crop simulation models can be divided into two groups: those that aspire to improve our
understanding of the physiology and environmental interactions of crops (science), and …

Terrestrial ecosystems sequester roughly 30% of anthropogenic carbon emission. However
this estimate has not been directly deduced from studies of terrestrial ecosystems …
