Growth is a major component of fitness in all organisms, an important mediator of
competitive interactions in plant communities, and a central determinant of yield in crops …

We start by outlining the general effects of climatic variability and temperature extremes on
wheat yields in the context of extreme event effects on crop processes for climatic impacts …

Increasing the accuracy of crop productivity estimates is a key element in planning
adaptation strategies to ensure global food security under climate change. Process-based …

Heat units, expressed in growing degree-days (GDD), are frequently used to describe the
timing of biological processes. The basic equation used is GDD=[(T MAX+ T MIN) 2]− T …

ARCWHEAT1 is a computer model which simulates the growth and development of wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) crops without water or nutrient limitations. Previously, it had been …

stics is a model that has been developed at INRA (France) since 1996. It simulates crop
growth as well as soil water and nitrogen balances driven by daily climatic data. It calculates …

In order to better assess the role of agriculture within the global climate‐vegetation system,
we present a model of the managed planetary land surface, Lund–Potsdam–Jena managed …

STICS (Simulateur mulTJdiscplinaire pour les Cultures Standard) is a crop model
constructed as a simulation tool capable of working under agricultural conditions. Outputs …

Crop production is inherently sensitive to variability in climate. Temperature is a major
determinant of the rate of plant development and, under climate change, warmer …

This is a completely revised edition of the previously titled Solute Movement in the Soil-Root
System. It describes in detail how plant nutrients and other solutes move in the soil in …
