The Systems Approach to Land Use Sustainability (SALUS) model
摘要
The Systems Approach to Land Use Sustainability (SALUS) is a process-based model designed to simulate crop growth by accounting for genetic variation, and soil, water, and nutrient conditions under varying agronomic management and climate scenarios. SALUS can reproduce numerous management practices, including tillage types, planting methods, irrigation schedules, fertilization strategies, harvest operations, and residue handling (Basso et al., 2006). Operating on a daily time step, the model examines the interactions between the various components of an agricultural field system, with a focus on their impact on plant growth and yield, soil organic matter (SOM), water, nitrogen (N), and phosphorous (P) dynamics.
