Modeling macroalgae growth to optimize biomass.
The EFDC-MPI model was amended to include the growth kinetics of macroalgae (seaweed) in the water-quality and hydrodynamic calculations. While EFDC has historically simulated macroalgae grown only on the sediment bed, this restriction was lifted to facilitate simulation of kelp farms where the …

Using crop simulation to optimize variable rate experimentation
… countries. There are questions related to how to optimize OFE. To address those questions, the APSIM crop growth model was used to simulate the concept of running on-field trials, use that information to calculate the Economic Optimum Nitrogen Rate (EONR), and finally use that EONR in a regular …
