Testing CERES-Maize versions to estimate maize production in a cool environment
CERES-Maize is a relatively simple deterministic crop model that simulates maize development, growth and yield. Since its first release in 1986, slight changes in the original model have been proposed by different researchers, generating a number of official or unofficial versions of CERES-Maize.

Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?
ABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Incorporating a water-logging routine into CERES-Maize, and some preliminary evaluations
The inability of CERES-Maize v3.0 to simulate a fluctuating water table has been identified as a major constraint in using this particular model in South Africa and in Kenya. Information regarding fluctuating water tables under specific conditions, and their influence on maize production, has been presented in South African literature. The objective of
