Water and crop production

The content of the EU is organized into six course sequences:
- Climate: meteorological variables, major climates of the Earth
- Surface energy balance: radiative, conductive, and convective fluxes, surface energy balance,
reference evapotranspiration (Penman and Penman-Monteith approaches)
- Plants: growth and development cycle, phenology, geometric structure, photosynthesis, root system,
water in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum
- Crop models: Monteith's
approach, water constraints
- Impact of climate change on agriculture

Objectives:

The objective of the module is to provide the theoretical basis for the influence of climate on plant production
. The targeted skills are knowledge of the fundamentals
of ecophysiology and the relationships between climate, water, and plant production.
