By selecting a site you can view a graph of the available water capacity (for wheat and sorghum) and download the soil input file by clicking the link. Once the APSIM reference sites have been saved to my places the data automatically be updated on a weekly interval. They can be viewed via the ASRIS website (see below) or click here to load the APSIM reference sites into Google Earth. How do I access APSIM reference sites?ĪPSIM reference sites can be accessed in two ways. It includes the capability to interface with seasonal climate forecasts based on the state of the ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) system and has recently been extended to deal with agroforestry systems and crop-weed interactions.
It contains an ever increasing number of plant modules (currently 20) with additional modules for water, soil nitrogen, soil organic matter, soil phosphorous, erosion and land management. APSIM simulates the growth of crops and cropping sequences for specific locations. What is APSIM?ĪPSIM, the Agricultural Production Systems s IMulator, is nationally and internationally recognised as a highly advanced cropping system simulator. The data for the ASRIS Level 5 (finest scale) soil units can be downloaded in an APSIM compatible format.
