Q

What is a model?

A

A model is a human construct that facilitates the understanding of real world systems

Also a metaphor for highly (overly?) simplified scientific models of complex real life phenomena

Q

Crop modelling –What for?

A
  1. Crop models for research
    - compare teories
    - fill knowlage gaps
    - get research questions
  • Prioritize experiments
  • Quantify expected results, with complex interacting factors:
  • improve genetics or management
  • Predict the future:
  • klimate change
  • Synthesize knowledge across disciplines
    2. Crop models for crop management
  • Describe the effects of complex factors
  • utgå från tidigare fall to predict
  • Definition of best management practices

BUT
Applications are limited by availability and quality of input
User needs to understand model structure to grasp limitations

Q

Steps to modelling

A

1) Definition of model purpose and system boundaries
2) Conceptualization: a conceptual, verbal description of the interactions within the system and its behavior
3) Quantification: coupling of functions, rules, equations to describe quantitatively the interactions within the system and its behavior
4) Calibration: adjustment of the model parameters to improve the representation of the system by the model
5) Validation: checking the accuracy of the model’s representation of the real system
6) use
7) Comparison with collected data - back to 1

Q

Comparison with collected data - hur ta fram en modell för tillväxt som resultat för c fixation

A

Goal: model plant biomass growth

Systekm boundaries:
a single plant

A verbal description
plant biomass increases as a result of carbon fixation; a larger biomass
results in more carbon fixation”

A graphical representation: Causal Loop Diagram
- plant biomass påverkar c fixation posetivt som i sin tur påverkar plant biomass

Q

Plant biomass growth -Logistic

- plant growth utifrån c fixation och available nutrients

A

A verbal description:
plant biomass increases as a result of carbon fixation; a larger biomass
results in more carbon fixation, but a very large biomass reduces available
resources and hence carbon fixation and hence biomass growth

Q

Empirical (or functional)
vs.
Mechanistic (or process-based)

A

Empirical : Relying on (statistical) description of the observations (e.g., regression models)

Mechanistic: Constructed around a mechanistic understanding of
the underlying processes; explicitly representing
processes and cause and effect relations; can be used
for predictions and extrapolations (up to a certain
point)
Note that all process-based models become empirical
at lower levels of organization

19
Q

model 0

A

Nollhypotesen är hypotesen att det inte föreligger något fenomen som kräver en förklaring.

20
Q

När är det fördelaktigt att ha en eller flera parametrar

A

en: början i växtens liv
fler: slutet av växtens liv

21
Q

Rate of photosynthesis

A

for given CO2 concentration at the photosynthetic site, gross photosynthesis is determined by enzyme kinetics (“RuBisCO” -Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) and light availability

Most common modelling approach: Farquhar’s model
For CO2fixation, choose the smallest between two potential rates of CO2 fixation

Limited by enzyme (RuBisCO) and light

22
Q

Vad är fotosyntes och respiration - vad behövs och vad bildas

A

Photosynthesis:
CO2, H2O and light to produce O2and glucose

Respiration:
O2and glucose to produce energy that plant cells can use, CO2and H2O

23
Q

Vad driver co2 supply?

A

CO2supply driven by stomatal aperture, i.e., stomatal conductance to CO2(and water vapor)

CO2 concentration at the photosynthetic site= a fraction of atmospheric CO2concentration

24
Q

Leaf level –C uptake

The result of demand and supply

A

där demand och suply möts är the working point

25
Q

Vad är cue?

A

CUE: Carbon Use Efficiency, i.e.,
net primary productivity per unit C assimilated by photosynthesis

CUE≈0.4-0.6
because of
-construction costs
-cell/ion concentrations/gradient
-active N uptake
-protein resynthesis
26
Q

Roots, stems, leaves or seeds?
Allocation patterns
Trade offs implicit in allocation patterns:

A
  • Large allocation to leaves, low allocation to roots: high photosynthetic capacity, but likely low water and nutrient availability
  • Large allocation to root, stems and leaves, low allocation to seeds: low reproductive ability
27
Q

EFFECTS OF GROWING CONDITIONS

A

temp and h2o limitations

28
Q

Degree-day model:

A

Based on the concept of cumulated degree days +

thresholds corresponding to different stages

29
Q

Photothermalunits:

A

Based on the concept of cumulated degree days + simple dependence on light availability + thresholds corresponding to different stages

30
Q

Modelling varieties

Change parameters:

A
  • Metabolic parameters
  • Allocation patterns
  • Rooting depth
  • Length of developmental stage
  • Response to stressors
31
Q

vad skapar fotosyntesen för demand?

A

Photosynthesis creates a demand for CO2.
Such demand of CO2is met by CO2uptake from the atmosphere through stomata, at the cost of water transpiration.
The demand of water is met through water uptake from the soil, taken up by the roots and transported through the plant.

32
Q

external limitations are accounted for by a two step approach

A

1)
definition of a ‘potential’ (in the absence of limitation)
e.g., yield, or at a lower level, assimilation rate under well-watered or high fertility conditions

2) introduction of a (often empirical) correction

33
Q

Är alla modeller ekvationer?

A

Kan formulera modellen med equations men innan dess måste du ha the essense - din understanding av vad som händer

34
Q

Hur vet man vilken nivå man ska jobba på?

A

Karta över sv eller en över världen - beror på vad man vill ha ut

Måste ha rätt level of complexity för att fungera I praktike

35
Q

What questions can models answer?

A

Depens on the model
Predicted values based on data
Siplifye representation of realiety
Dercribe data

36
Q

Why and how are simulations models useful in crop research and strategic management?

A

Predict what can happen in future

Make amodell of last year and apply it next year - not predictive but describing

37
Q

What is the difference between mechanistic (or process-based) and empirical models?

A

And when is ‘best’ to use one or the other kind?
Empetics - kolla bara på sttestik - om sloen lyser mycket så växer det mer
Mecanical - care abourt the underlying mekanism - it is the fotysyntes that makes the plant grow

Mekanisk - vill förklara why - ändra någon parameter
Emperical - när använder samma system

Predict: behöver ej vara över tid utan även under andra förutsättningar tex har en modell för lite ljus och ska ha en med mer ljus

38
Q

How can the role of modelling uncertainties be assessed?

A

P value - accurensy
Calibration
Validation to chek it

Var sätter jag in errors?

Då baserad på prediction är den bara så stark som the prediction is - hur mycker vet vi om tex future? Väldigt lite

Ha olika teorier bakom men kommer fram till samma resultat - ej så känslig för condition

Hur vet jag om den r känslig för olika conditions - running different senarios

Modellen kan var känslig/okänslig för de assomptions som tas

Twerk parametrarr och se om resultatet blir det samma
- sensetivity analysis

39
Q

Tar ej med specefika frågor från seminariet

A

nope

40
Q

2 aspects att alltid ha in mind

A

Energy and mass is conserved - bildas aldrig nytt
Formuleras som mass balance and energy balance
Mass balance - stuff dyker bara inte upp, det kommer någonstanns ifrån

41
Q

Vad beror limits på?

A

på skala och faktorer

42
Q

Varför är det viktigt att veta hur modellen ser ut?

A

you need to know whats in the
model, so you know whats going
to happen, its not magic

43
Q

Hur spelar kunskapen man har in i skapandet av modellen?

A

limited knowledge = limited quality on the model

the model cant generate knowledge for you

44
Q

DAS

A

days after sowing

45
Q

CDD (C)

A

= measurment of maturity
