Model description

CLM-AgSys model is an improved crop model in the framework of Community Land Model (CLM). The improvement is achieved through directly incorporating modeling idea and parameterization scheme (instead of code) from APSIM (Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator) into CLM and thus integrating strengths from both models.
