The virtual abandonment of sisal production surrounding Mérida has facilitated the regeneration of large areas of secondary forest. These forests provide multiple services, including carbon sequestration an...
متن کاملSSM-Wheat: a simulation model for wheat development,growth and yield
A robust crop model can assist in genetic improvement and cultural management of the crop. The objectives of this study were to describe a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) model and to report results of its evaluation. The model simulates phenological development, leaf development and senescence, crop mass production and partitioning, plant nitrogen balance, yield formation and soil water and ...
