Initial values, parameters, direct modules, differential modules, and a differential equation solver that can be used to run willow growth simulations in Champaign, Illinois and other locations.
To represent willow growth in Champaign, IL, these values must be paired with
the Champaign weather data (cmi_weather_data). The parameters
already include the clay_loam values from the
soil_parameters dataset, which is the appropriate soil type for
Champaign.
Some specifications, such as the values of photosynthetic parameters, would remain the same in any location; others, such as the latitude or longitude, would need to change when simulating crop growth in different locations. Care must be taken to understand each input quantity before attempting to run simulations in other places or for other cultivars.
