Trees now part of a global crop modeling framework (APSIM)

Export citation

The modelling framework of the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) already has these features, so adding agroforestry trees to it has allowed us to build on previous achievements. A new version of this Australian software (APSIM Next Generation) now includes an agroforestry model that can simulate crop and pasture production as affected by several important tree-crop interactions.
