Fachkompetenzen:

After successfully completing the module, students understand the important role of models of plant and crop growth in many disciplines (e.g. agricultural sciences, agricultural economics, bioeconomics, hydrology, earth system science, environmental physics and meteorology). They can specify the general concepts currently used in modelling the processes determining plant and crop growth. Students have a good understanding of the concepts and modelling approaches required for the development of crop growth models appropriate for various environmental situations from the local to the regional scale. They are finally able to work with and further develop basic plant growth models which integrate knowledge from different disciplines at the interface between biogeophysics, plant physiology and agricultural sciences, in particular models of phenological development, biological switches, light transmission in canopies, leaf gas exchange, photosynthesis, growth and respiration, transport processes and assimilate partitioning in plants and water and nutrient uptake by plants. Students are ultimately proficient in respective biochemical approaches and plant morphology.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

Students enhance their organizational skills, self-reliance, time management and team work abilities while preparing and following up on lectures and during the exercises and while preparing for the exam. They learn and practice critical and analytical thinking in the lectures and the exercises, improve their ability of integrating knowledge from different disciplines, and gain experience in approaching complex scientific subjects.
