  abstract = {{T}he dynamics underlying cereal crops in the northern region of {M}orocco is investigated using a global modelling technique applied to a vegetation index time series derived from satellite measurements, namely, the normalized difference vegetation index from 1982 to 2008. {T}wo three-dimensional chaotic global models of reduced size (14-term and 15-term models) are obtained. {T}he model validation is performed by comparing their horizons of predictability with those provided in previous studies. {T}he attractors produced by the two global models have a complex foliated structure-evidenced in a {P}oincare section-rending a topological characterization difficult to perform. {T}hus, the {K}aplan-{Y}orke dimension is estimated from the synthetic data produced by our global models. {O}ur results suggest that cereal crops in the northern {M}orocco are governed by a weakly dissipative three-dimensional chaotic dynamics.},
