A protocol to build soil descriptions for APSIM simulations

Soil processes have a major impact on agroecosystems, controlling water and nutrient cycling, regulating plant growth and losses to the wider environment. Process-based agroecosystem simulation models generally encompass detailed descriptions of the soil, including a wide number of parameters that c...
