Based on an extensive review literature on dynamic simulation of rice ( Oryza sativa L.) growth, the following six aspects of this plant growth are presented in this paper. ① Simulation of the effects of climate change on rice growth. The general result is that when the temperature increases, the production of rice improves in cold regions, while it decreases in warm regions, and that increase in CO_2 leads to higher productivity. ② Estimating the production potential of rice. Generally, it is theoretically...
