Simulating alfalfa regrowth and biomass in eastern Canada using the CSM-CROPGRO-perennial forage model

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the predominant forage legume species in Canada and is considered a prioritized option for sustainable cropping under climate change. Crop growth models provide an opportunity to explore the potential impacts of climate change on alfalfa and for evaluating potential adaptation options. For this study, six experimental datasets in eastern Canada were used to parameterize the newly adapted CSM-CROPGRO-Perennial...
