What is slurp

The official introduction suggests that the slurp model in apsim framework can do two things:

  1. Users can simulate water uptake when users define the canopy of a plant.
  2. Users can simulate canopy development when users define the water supply in the soil.

Why slurp

Water extraction

How slurp

Two values are needed:

  1. $R/R_0$ to calculate the leaf area index and the height
  2. extincation coefcient. to calculainstte leaf area
