APSIM Training Manuals
Introductory Training Manuals
If you are new to Apsim, start with these documents. They will teach you the basic skills required to construct a simulation and how to work with the results, including graphing. As they build upon the content in previous documents, it is recommended that they be completed in order. Some of these manuals are also presented in video
1 – Introduction to Apsim UI
2 – Surface Organic Matter (The Effect of Residue Cover on Soil Water Storage during Fallow)
3 – The Nitrogen Cycle
4 – Sowing A Crop (A Sorghum Crop Simulation)
5 – Long Term Simulations (Chickpea Sowing Rates – 40 Year Runs)
Plantation Forestry Training

APSIM For Plantation Forestry Instructions Exercises – Screen Shots
Observed Data For Plantation Forestry Training
Advanced Topics
The following topics assume you have completed the core materials. They introduce advanced tools and techniques to allow you to create complex simulations. They may be completed in any order.
