55 Summary on Bioenergy Study Maize Monoculture is sligtly superior in Energy Balance GHG Balance Water and Light use efficiency But: Crop Rotations Reduce Risk of Pests Increase Biodiversity May prevent excessive N-Leaching Losses
56 What we have learne so far Our Model approach seems useful Flexibel, modular Model integration feasible! Combination Field Experiment and Simulation Modelling sucessful Simulation models of the shelf may not exact enough System Modelling is the only way to generalise experimental Results
57 Assessment of Cropping Systems What we have Experimental Results from a (decreasing) number of Field Experiments Data from Farm Surveys Tools to Calculate Balances of different Indikators Increasingly Non-Destructive Sensor Data (Some) Models for Crop Growth and Soil Processes What we need More efficient ways to combine Experimental Data and Simulation Modelling More Models within Indicator Systems Modular Crop & Soil Models Modelling Standards
