Dear DSSATers,
 
1) The soil temperature submodel which originates from Williams et al (1984)
is commonly used in the CERES models. Is there any test of the soil
tempearture submodel by a third person?
 
2) Minor but signicant number of modifications were made since the original
CERES -maize and -wheat models had published in 1986 . You can tell what
modified in N transformations, nitrate leaching and phasic development
between 1986 and 1991 by "Modeling Plant and Soil Systems" published in 1991
by the ASA, were described. But, except this publication, I don't know any
source of modifications. Does anyone know other publications which account
for modifications in the CERES models?
 
Thanks,
