Spatial explicit information of agricultural land use is a crucial requirement for many environmental models. In particular, for regional agro-ecosystem models that aim at agricultural management such as nutrient, soil and pest management for farming systems geo-referenced land use data are...

Maize yields in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are at the lower end of the global range of yields since decades. This study used the large-scale agricultural crop growth model GEPIC to simulate maize yield responses to different management scenarios concerning: (a) level of nutrient supply; (b) extent...

In most parts of Iran, water scarcity has been intensifying and posing a threat to the sustainability of agricultural production. Wheat is the dominant crop and the largest irrigation water user in Iran; hence, understanding of the crop yield-water relations in wheat across the country is...
