- Abstract
- Agroecological models have become an important tool in many areas such as agricultural applications, water management and climate research. The U.S. National Science Foundation funded an Ecosystem Studies Research Project in the framework of which a unique dataset of long term field measurements at different locations was produced and new agroecological models were developed (the CENTURY model system). The dataset and the models are now being evaluated and some known model deficits are to be remedied. One of the leading members of the project team, Prof. William Parton of Colorado State University, has invited the applicant to help with the interpretation of the data set and to participate in the task of improving and validating the soil water and temperature submodel in the new DAYCENT model of the CENTURY model system.
