Abstract: Agricultural management practices to improve the regulation of water, sediments, or nutrients, make farming decisions and operations more complex. This extra complexity often stems from the use of multiple species and farm heterogeneity so that species can complement each other, and different fields (and the space between fields) can provide alternative benefits, like biomass or nutrient regulation. Mechanistic crop and farm models provide tools to explore the effect of these practices.
