Computation of crop height

calculates crop height from phenological development

computational task, discrete-time task, nonlinear task

Description

This task computes crop height as a function of phenological progress during the growing season. It uses a normalized development factor to scale crop height between emergence and maturity. The task produces a deterministic estimate of crop height at each time step. The resulting height can be used to parameterize canopy structure and related processes.
