  3. Introduction (1) • Models are powerful tools for investigating the effects of different land use options and/or climate changes on agro-ecosystems as well as for bridging the gap between different temporal and spatial scales;they are urgentlyneeded to support ecological and economic conflict solutions. • Crop growth modeling at different spatial scales are very effective instruments for providing solutions to scientific, practical or impact assessment-oriented biomass and crop yield questions. • The best solution for both model developers and practitioners would be to havehighly resilient and robust universal crop growth models applicable to different questions and spatial scales. • BUT, experiences show that such a solution is hardly ever or never achieved in practice.The reality of crop growth modeling is that there is a close interaction between model type, spatial scale and input data availability.

  4. Introduction (2) • Crop growth models require: ►meteorological values (Dj, j = 1, 2, ... nj); • ►management values (Mk, k = 1, 2,...nk); • ►site values (Sl, l = 1, 2, ... nl) and • ►parameters (Pm, m = 1, 2,... nm). • Xi = f [Dj, Mk, Sl, Pm] (Xi, i = 1,2,...ni) • At plot level all site and management conditions are well known; here detailed plant physiologic based crop growth models describing all important processes can be expected toproduce more scientific answers than similar simple crop growth approaches. • With increasing areas (from plot to region), there is a conflict between spatial heterogeneity, the heterogeneity in plant reaction patterns(local environ-mental conditions), the considered process details, and the input and parameter availability and uncertainty. • The selection of an model approach for the context depends on the modeling goal as well as realistic input and parameter demands so that accurate and resilient results can be achieved.

  6. Dynamic agro-ecosystem model - AGROSIM for plot scale (2) - • The agro-ecosystemmodel AGROSIM: • describeshomogeneous crop stands under field conditions for limited water and nitrogen supply between sowing and harvest, • usesmeteorologicalstandardvalues(temperature, radiation, precipitation, CO2 content) asdrivingforces, • bases on availablesoilandmanagementinputvalues, • has a simularmodelstructurefor all crops, • uses rate equationsfordescribingprocessdynamics, • operates on a minimum time step of one day and • is sensitive to weather/climate, site and management.

  7. Dynamic agro-ecosystem model - AGROSIM for plot scale (3) - Validation of AGROSIM for German experimental sites in: Müncheberg, Hohenfinow, Ziethen, Mariensee, Bad Lauchstädt, Braunschweig Model-experiment comparison for ontogenesis, above-ground biomass and yield as time courses for the whole crop rotation (1993-1998) at the Müncheberg site (lines – simulations; squares – observations)

  10. Dynamic agro-ecosystem model - AGROSIM for plot scale (6) - problem with parametrization !!

  11. Dynamic agro-ecosystem model - AGROSIM for regional scale (1) - The application of process-based agro-ecosystem models for the regional scale must be handled very carefully and is not possible in every case. However, in every case it is necessary to adapt these models to the practical cropping conditions taking into account the bias between the crop yield level for experimental stations and the crop yield level for practical cropping conditions. Two possibilities for usage of process-based agro-ecosystem models at regional scale: 1. Assumption that the region is a homogeneous area with homogenized model inputs, i.e. a typical soil for the whole region, a representative weather/climate data set for the region and a identical agro-management. 2. Sub-devision of the region into small grids (100m x 100m, for instance) there the model inputs can also be defined as homogeneous. The grid-based preparation of necessary model inputs for the whole region is much more difficult (problem: to acquire grid-based agro-management information ??)

  12. Dynamic agro-ecosystem model - AGROSIM for regional scale (2) - 1. Example for first possibility with agro-ecosystem model AGROSIM Comparison of simulated and statistical average grain yields at district scale for Strausberg and Prenzlau districts in Brandenburg, Germany

  13. Dynamic agro-ecosystem model - AGROSIM for regional scale (4) - Example for first possibility with agro-ecosystem model MONICA problem with limited weather stations !! 1992–2010 mean winter wheat yields in Thuringia, Germany, simulated on a 100 m × 100 m grid of soil and relief information with weather data from 14 weather stations following a nearest neighbour (Thiessen polygon) approach (Nendel et al., 2013)

  14. Dynamic agro-ecosystem model - Problems for regional use (1) - • Main problems: • Dynamic models do not take into account all relevant processes and interactions influencing the biomass accumulation and yield formation. • Influences connected with infection pressure or with weed competition are not take into account. •  Every cropandvarietyhasthereownparameterset. •  Difference in cropyieldlevelbetween experimental plotsasbasis vor agro-ecosystemparametrizationandpracticalfieldcropping (ca. 10 … 20 %) •  The cropyieldtrendbased on progress in plant breedingand agro-technology is not takenintoaccount. •  Forusageon a regional scaletherearenecessary a large numberofinputdatarestrictionsandassumptions (  increasinguncertainty).

  18. Statistical model approaches - Crop yield model YIELDSTAT for regional scale (9) - Spatial Analysis and Modeling Tool (SAMT) Maps (Thuringia, Germany) [Wieland et al., 2006] Soil index Thuringia, Germany Data base (Weather/Climate, Parameter, Management) Altitude Hydromorphy Soil type Climate zoning Model Grids: 100m x 100m (1 ha) Hybrid model YIELDSTAT Szenario simulations for Silage maize Crop yield Irrigation water demand

  20. Hybrid crop growth model for landscape scale (1) Within agro-landscapes, crop growth models are necessary for different agricultural crops and grassland types as well as for different management intensities (Germany: ca. 20 arable crops, 14 grassland types) Limited availability of input data at landscape scale - GIS-based data with different spatial resolutions (soil maps, land use maps…) - no specific management information - no specific cultivar information - weather/climate information based on the official weather service station network only - …  Here the usage of dynamic plant-physiological-based agro-ecosystem models is not optimal, i.e. is connected with a lot of problems !  Solution: a hybrid crop growth model which include sub models of different approaches (statistics, fuzzy, neural network, empirical approach and others)

  26. Hybrid crop growth model for landscape scale (8) BOWET Mirschel et al. (1995)

  27. Conclusions Because of required model simplifications on the one hand and increasing difficulties in the process of input data availabilityconnected with increasing scales on the other, it follows thatthere is a mutual dependency between scale and applied model type for crop growth. It is unwise to search for an optimum modeling approach that can be used across all scales.Instead,it is advisable to find the best suitable modeling approach according to the scale of the project. In order to obtain resilient and robust results in crop growth modeling on a large scale across a wide range of agricultural crops grown on arable and grass land, it is recommended that hybrid crop growth models are used which combine different statistical, matrix, fuzzy and expert knowledge -based approaches with empirical algorithms. The special challenge in crop growth modeling is to find a balance between the modeling goal, the input data availability (including quantity and quality), the spatial scale, and the model type.
