This presentation is an introduction of CLEM to the APSIM community using a guided walk-through of the two example simulations provided with APSIM (cropping and grazing). This presentation will introduce the fundamentals of CLEM while demonstrating how the simulation tree structure and various tools are used to provide the ability to simulate a range of framing systems.

This series of monthly online seminars are designed to provide users with the next level of detail in using CLEM after reading the documentation and initial exploration of the examples.

If you would like to attend live and be involved in the discussions please email us.

This webinar was presented for agricultural researchers in CSIRO and provides a general introduction to farm system modelling, an overview of the CLEM model and two case studies as examples of the initial scope of the model; a north Australian beef system simulation and exploration of a small-holder farming system in a developing country. All information presented remains the property of CSIRO.
