Research area
and specialization
Agrometeorology and agro-systems modelling
ISCI Agronomy research activity
focuses in systems analysis and simulation modelling of environmental and management
impacts on agricultural production. ISCI Agronomy participates in national and
international projects on analysing and modelling cropping/farming systems,
and effects of climate and land use change on agro-ecosystems. Since 2002 ISCI
Agronomy coordinates a project on development software tools for eco-compatible
planning of farms. One research area of increasing importance for ISCI Agronomy
is the definition of methodologies for reusable agro-ecological model components
development. In cooperation with other institutions, ISCI Agronomy is engaged
in developing and maintaining software tools for agrometeorology and agricultural
modelling.
