Inhalt:

Introduction to principles of crop models and development of own model modules by the students. We will jointly develop a base model on photosynthesis and assimilate partitioning in annual crops using Stella, a user-friendly visual software. During individual or group-wise work students will build own modules that can be plugged into the base model. The course will be held in an interactive manner and we will use our models to discuss topics like feedback loops, competition, model calibration / validation and others as they arise during the practical work. Students will present their models at the end of the course, including quantitative assessment (plausibility) of outputs.
