"Environmental concerns of the public, droughts, and climate change effects require continual adaptation and optimization of agricultural systems through changes in cropping and management. Advancement of science and technology to achieve these changes requires cutting-edge field research, using a quantitative whole-systems approach. Process-based models of agricultural systems integrated with field research provide such a systems approach. The models help to 1) quantify field research results in terms of the fundamental theory and concepts that are broadly applicable beyond the site-specific empirical relationships, 2) predict experimental results from knowledge of the fundamental factors that determine the environment and plant growth under different climates, 3) extend the experimental results to longer term weather conditions beyond the limited duration of field experiments and to other soil types and climates in the area outside the experimental plots, and 4) use extended results to develop broad-based precision management decision support tools or simple management guidelines for producers and other users, which may include linkage to economic and social considerations. As a result, the models are also continually improved and serve as an evolving theoretical backbone of complex agricultural system research and information transfer. Integration of system models with field research has the potential to make agriculture more quantitative, significantly enhance efficiency of agricultural research, and raise agricultural science and technology to a higher level, leading to improved production and protection of the environment"--
