An overview of APSIM, a model designed for farming systems simulation

Abstract: The Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) is a modular modelling framework that has been developed by the Agricultural Production Systems Research Unit in Australia. APSIM was developed to simulate biophysical process in farming systems, in particular where there is interest in the economic and ecological outcomes of management practice in the face of climatic risk. The paper outlines APSIM's structure and provides details of the concepts behind the different plant, soil and management modules. The… Show more

“…Some of the effects are covered by specialised soil and crop models; however, there are few models where these are integrated at the farm level (e.g. Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM); Keating et al, 2003; EcoMod and FASSET modelling frameworks).At the manure level, most farm models can simulate changes in direct temperature-driven emissions and sometimes indirect effects driven by changes in the composition of the feed (e.g. digestibility).…”
