Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Apsim Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 1D Spatial extent Regional-Scale Model domain Terrestrial One-line model description The Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) Extended model description The Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) is internationally recognized as a highly advanced simulator of agricultural systems. It contains a suite of modules which enable the simulation of systems that cover a range of plant, animal, soil, climate and management interactions. APSIM is undergoing continual development, with new capability added to regular releases of official versions. Its development and maintenance is underpinned by rigorous science and software engineering standards. The APSIM Initiative has been established to promote the development and use of the science modules and infrastructure software of APSIM.
