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 variousphilosophies, mechanisms, and scales in
simulating plant N uptake in agricultural system models, while
providing an extensive review of the uptake of dissolved organic
nitrogen by plants in ecosystems.
