Analyze the effects of fertilizers on the phosphorus cycle and help the residents in Astakos IV to increase their crop yield without compromising the environment.
University / College
How dynamic can an ecosystem be? Let’s find out!
In this simulation you will learn how fertilizers can modify the phosphorus cycle in the ecosystems. Your task is to find a way to increase the yield of crops, without impacting the phosphorus cycle and the environment in general.
Sustainably increase the yield of crops
Learn how fertilizers can be used to increase the yield of crops. The secret is in figuring out what the right amount of fertilizer is. Too little fertilizer will have a small effect on the yield of crops, and too much will have a negative impact on the environment. In this simulation you will learn how to make this decision.
Analyze the phosphorus cycle and measure dissolved phosphorus
You will collect samples of soil to determine the status of the fields and analyze the entire phosphorus cycle. Additionally, you will learn how to measure soluble phosphorus all by yourself, determine how important the different phosphorus fractions are by the means of your measurements.
Pick the right model!
Throughout the simulation, you will be able to choose between different amounts of fertilizer and find out what their impact is on the phosphorus cycle. This will allow you to choose the right amount of fertilizer to maximize the crops without compromising the environment!
