Develop a generalized crop growth model within EPIC to simulate multi-crop yields and evaluate soil productivity impacts across soils experiencing varying degrees of erosion.
Constructed a unified crop growth model parameterized for multiple crop species using unique parameter sets.
Modeled physiological and hydrological processes including leaf interception of solar radiation, conversion to biomass, biomass partitioning, root growth, water use, and nutrient uptake.
Tested model performance across diverse soil types throughout the United States and selected international locations.
Simulated crop growth realistically across multiple agricultural crops within a single mathematical framework.
Demonstrated model applicability for projecting crop yields over a wide spectrum of soil erosion damage conditions.
