Hi Gerrit,

The Springer site gives the price for this book as being GBP 287.00 hard
cover (is there a soft cover edition?), which will be out of the reach
of many users.   Moreover, only one or two chapters seem to provide
technical information on the DSSAT crop models.   Is similar information
on the crop model equations available in some other form?

Thanks,
Robert
