Crop Models: Principles and Adaptations to the Problem of Climate Change

摘要: Crop models are aimed at simulating the growth and phenological development of cultivated plants useful for numerous applications. The objective this paper is to present their functional principles based on a study current literature. Firstly, structure way in which they respond environmental factors (solar energy, temperature, stress) discussed. Then, several related major (conversion energy biomass, root leaf growth, water behaviour crop ripening) examined. Finally, adaptation these climate change also discussed, must consider variation concentration atmospheric CO2.
