This book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Abdullah Jaradat who passed away in 2020 while the book was being prepared. Dr. Jaradat was an ARS Research Agronomist at the USDA‐Agricultural Research Service‐North Central Soil Conservation Research Laboratory (Soil’s Lab) in Morris, MN. Dr. Jaradat was recognized nationally and internationally as an authority on biodiversity, genetic resources, salinity, and cropping systems under dryland, irrigated, continental and desert agroecosystems. He was a passionate scientist, curious and eager to learn new tools for managing, manipulating, and analyzing big data. One of the recent tools Dr. Jaradat learned to use were crop models. His interest was to understand constraints to production in the dryland agricultural systems of the Fertile Crescent, one of the birth places of agriculture around the world. The result is an excellent chapter on an assessment of all
