Characteristics of water supply and demand in an agroforestry ecosystem under long-term continuous cropping assessed using the RZWQM2 model by Jing Zhang, Li Wang, Gong Cheng, Liangliang Jia

“…The field experiment and the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM2) were combined (1) to explore the feasibility of RZWQM2 in simulating soil water conditions under the three cropping systems and (2) to simulate long-term soil water dynamics and plant water use in different cropping systems from 1981–2019. The results showed that RZWQM2 was able to simulate the growth of wheat and maize and the water use of the three land use patterns (R2>0.70, −3.86 %<PBIAS<0.49 %, and D>0.89). …”
