Förlagets beskrivning
Competition between plants for the capture of the essential resources for
plant growth (such as light, water and nutrients) determines the performance of
both natural and agricultural ecosystems. The topic has been studied
extensively by ecologists and physiologists, leading to the development of
several approaches to describe the outcome of competition. This book reviews
these modelling approaches and their potential for predicting yield loss as a
result of crop-weed competition. The authors provide a detailed description of the model INTERCOM and of
methods to parameterize and evaluate the model using experimental data.
Examples are given of how the model can be used to understand the effects of
weeds on crops in field situations. The book presents a number of new
devlopments and is aimed at theoretical plant ecologists, as well as
agronomists and weed scientists interested in eco-physiological approaches. Various modelling approaches have been developed to describe the outcome of
competition between plants for the capture of essential resources. This book
reviews these models, particularly the model INTERCOM, assessing their
potential for predicting yield loss as a result of crop-weed competition.
