Thesis Thesis for Master’s Degree at HIT and UBP II II Abstract This thesis comes from a project of UREP (Grassland Ecosystem Research Unit) at INRA (National Institute of Agronomic Research) in France. INRA is ranked number one agriculture institute in Europe and UREP is specialized in researching the ecology, functioning and ecosystem services provided by permanent grasslands . The aim of this thesis is to set up a system which investigate and analyze the spatial structure and the biomass of permanent grassland dynamically. Biologists will use this system to monitor the traits (main characteristics for species) of the pasture, to simulate agricultural management activity, to determine the efficient agriculture strategy and to predict the future trend of the pasture. In order to realize this kind of analysis, this vegetation growth model deals with a large plot of grassland and divides it into many small cells. Each cell has the same area (0.1 m2) which is the surface an ovine can graze without moving its legs) but not necessarily same traits. These traits are grouped into patches, which are the combination of many common species in a same cell. Four common patches are described into the literature and are used to design the grassland plot. Each cell is divided in four compartments which stand for green vegetative, green reproductive, dead vegetative and dead reproductive. This system not only considers the permanent structure of the pasture but also the agriculture activities which are simulated as three types of events: cut, fertilization, and grazing by animals. These events occurred according to the management described by the biologist. To maintain and utilize this model, a graphic user interface which is programmed in JAVA is implemented. This GUI interface is to specify the input of users and parameters from files. Meanwhile, it provides the methods to set the structure of the pasture. Finally, the output data is produced into the format CSV or NetCDF and d
