The worldwide usage of and increasing citations for ORYZA2000 has established it as a robust reliable ecophysiological model predicting the growth yield rice in an irrigated lowland ecosystem. Because its focus on lowlands, computation ability is limited to representation effects highly dynamic environments upland, rainfed, aerobic ecosystems yield. Additional modules routines quantify daily variations soil temperature, carbon, nitrogen, environmental stresses were then developed integrated...
