Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back DIGITAL MODELS OF AGROECOSYSTEMS I.F. Yurchenko Nowadays while domestic digital economy creating as well as «smart agriculture» developing it is difficult to overestimate the simulation pf the agroecosystem, representing the object of automated precision control the intensive agricultural production within the environmental standards. The analysis of the implementation of quantitative methods to describing the productivity of agroecosystems, are the most popular in the modern research and practice of agricultural production. The theoretical basis of the research is based on the following methods: synthesis and analysis; induction and deduction which are used to study management and decision-making, experimental planning, mathematical statistics, simulation and analytical modelling of the production process in sustainable agroecosystems.The classifi cation of the existing agro-ecological models in relation to the issues of the agricultural production is given. The functional capabilities of practical models on the estimating, forecasting and managing agroecosystems are characterized. The ways of information support as well as implementation of the models of agroecosystems are described. The necessity the theory improving on productivity management to improve agrocenosises' in terms of decision-making, which takes into account the spatial and temporal resolution of the control indicators at the strategic, tactical and operational levels is shown. At the same time, it is determined that the achieved level of control and methodological support in the formalized representation of agroecosystems guarantees the use of modelling for their estimating, forecasting and managing at the initial stage of the future global evolution of automated agricultural production management systems. Keywords: agroecosystem; modelling; quantitative methods; management; classification; automation; agricultural production. DOI: 10.25791/esip.01.2020.1131 Contacts: - Pp. 19-26.
