In statistics, an "excursion" occurs when a process exceeds a specific threshold. In the context of Farmax modeling, this refers to periods when livestock density or grazing intensity overshoots the sustainable carrying capacity of the land. The PDF provides complex algorithms to predict these thresholds to prevent overgrazing. 2. Soil Bulk Density Metrics
Modern farm management software uses density PDFs to map soil compaction and nutrient variance. By calculating excursions above critical compaction thresholds, the software identifies: Zones requiring deep tillage. Areas with high risk of water logging due to poor drainage.
