Modelling of Agrophytocoenosis Productivity under Conditions of the Climate Change
Goals and objectives of the course
The discipline is aimed at studying approaches and methodology of mathematical modelling of the climate change impact on growth, development and yield productivity of agrophytocoenoses.
The objectives of the course are as follows:
Study into the types of models for production process in plants.
Study into the models of natural phytocoenoses productivity.
Acquisition of skills for assessment of the climate change impact on agroclimate resources and productivity of an agricultural plant.
The matter at issue within the course is the study of up-to-date models for agrophytocoenoses productivity and their use for assessment of the climate change impact on agroclimate resources and crop productivity under the most probable climate change scenarios recognized by the scientific community.
The main topics for the course.
1. Modelling of the production process in plants
2. Modelling of the process of yield formation.
3. Assessment of the change in agroclimate conditions for growing winter wheat in the autumn-winter period
4. Assessment of the change in agroclimate conditions for growing winter wheat in the spring-summer period.
5. Assessment of the change in the photosynthetic productivity of winter wheat according to various climate change scenarios
6. Assessment of the change in fluctuations of the winter wheat productivity due to the climate change. Assessment of fluctuations in the gross grain yield of winter wheat in accordance with various climate change scenarios
