Process-based crop models use many cultivar parameters to simulate crop growth. Usually,
these parameters cannot be directly measured and need to be calibrated when the crop …

Environmental modelling is transitioning from the traditional paradigm that focuses on the
model and its quantitative performance to a more holistic paradigm that recognises …

Pastoral systems are characterised by a number of features that are absent in arable
cropping systems. These features include:(i) pastures are biologically diverse so interactions …
