About the research project
Soil waterlogging has caused severe impacts in agricultural production in the high rainfall zones of Australia. Robust projections of waterlogging impacts on crop growth underpinned by process-based models are fundamental in the quest to design effective adaptations. However, most current process-based crop models cannot capture waterlogging stress and model its impact on crop growth and development. Thus, enhancing the modeling capacity to simulate waterlogging stress is essential for designing effective management practices that offer win-win in terms of productivity and environmental impacts.
