Discusses New Advancements to Improve Existing Simulations of Plant
Nitrogen Written by research pioneers and leading scientists in the
area of agricultural systems, Quantifying and Understanding Plant
Nitrogen Uptake for Systems Modeling comprehensively covers plant N
uptake in agricultural system models, especially for building
soil-plant system models. The text illustrates how to minimize the
transportation of nitrogen fertilizers in crop production to
surface and ground waters, as even moderate errors in uptake
estimations lead to a dramatic increase in the amount of nitrogen
leached into groundwater. It also highlights the knowledge gaps
preventing correct simulation of this process and explains what to
look for when using a system model and interpreting simulation
results. Applies to a Variety of Crops, Including Oilseed, Wheat,
Potatoes, and Maize Addressing quantification and synthesis in the
context of system modeling, this text introduces cutting-edge and
original information regarding N uptake not previously offered by
other research texts in the field. This, in turn, benefits
scientists, professors, system modelers, and model users in
interpreting modeling results for enhancing nitrogen management and
developing decision support tools. This volume documents, with
complex, detailed models, plant N uptake based on absorption
kinetics of transporters across the root cell membranes, mass flow,
and diffusion to the root surface of single or composite roots. It
also provides simpler models used in N uptake simulations at the
field and watershed scales. Discusses All Areas of the Complex
Process In addition to the important processes of nitrogen
translocation, remobilization, and grain protein formation, the
book documents various philosophies, mechanisms, and scales in
simul
