We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Modelling root architecture and phosphorus uptake in agroforestry

Export citation

A modified version of the WaNuLCAS model [Water, Nutrient and Light Capture in Agroforestry Systems, which models water, nitrogen and light interactions in agroforestry systems] is outlined. The modified model includes phosphorus as a second nutrient, with a range of phosphorus (P) acquisition mechanisms for crops and trees, and interactions via recycling and rhizosphere modification
