Modified BEAM rubber agroforestry models
1998
Grist, P. | Menz, Kenneth M.
This paper details changes to the BEAM models, RRYIELD and RRECON which are two of a series of bioeconomic models developed by the Bioeconomic Agroforestry Modelling (BEAM) project based at the School of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences at the University of Wales. The RRYIELD model deals with the biophysical components of a rubber-based agroforestry system and focuses on the changes in output in response to a number of bioclimatic, topographic and silvicultural variables. It is linked to an economic model RRCON which is used to determine the economic returns from a rubber plantation. The work was carried out as part of a project entitled "Improving smallholder farming systems in Imperata areas of Southeast Asia: a bioeconomic approach" and was based at the Australian National University in collaboration with the Indonesian Rubber Research Institute.
