<p><strong><em> Please note: This software is no longer being updated or maintained, and is out of date. </em></strong></p> <p>SPUR2 DOS ver. 2.2 is a general grassland ecosystem simulation model designed to determine beef cattle performance and production by simultaneously simulating production of up to 15 plant species on 36 heterogeneous grassland sites. SPUR2 simulates grassland hydrology, nitrogen cycling, and soil organic matter on grazed ecosystems as well as rangeland production under different climatic regimes, environmental conditions, and management alternatives. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: SPUR2 download page.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=241&modecode=30-12-30-25">https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=241&modecode=30-12-30-25</a> </p></li></ul><p></p>
