We show the error in water-limited yields simulated by crop models which is associated with spatially aggregated soil and climate input data. Crop simulations at large scales (regional, national, continental) frequently use data of low resolution. Therefore, are often generated via averaging sampling area majority. This may bias scales, varying largely across models. Thus, we evaluated for 14 Yields winter wheat silage maize were under production conditions. calculated this from spatial...
Abstract The structure of soil is critical for the ecosystem services it provides since regulates many key processes, including water, air and solute movement, root growth activity biota. Soil dynamic, driven by external factors such as land management climate mediated a wide range biological agents physical processes operating at strongly contrasting time‐scales, from seconds (e.g., tillage) to decades faunal aggregation). In this respect, positive feedbacks in soil–plant system may lead...
Abstract A major effect of environment on crops is through crop phenology, and therefore, the capacity to predict phenology for new environments important. Mechanistic models are a tool such predictions, but calibration difficult there no consensus best approach. We propose an original, detailed approach models, which we refer as protocol. The protocol covers all steps in workflow, namely choice default parameter values, objective function, parameters estimate from data, calculation optimal...
Soil-crop simulation models are widely used to assess the impacts of soil management and climate change on water balance, solute transport crop production. In this context, it is important that hydrological processes in soil-crop system accurately modelled. We suggest here empirical treatments flow, uptake by plant roots transpiration limit applicability increase prediction errors. further argue empiricism a large extent unnecessary, as parsimonious physics-based descriptions these flow now...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is critical for soil quality and agroecosystem sustainability moisture a key component in the response of SOC turnover to climate variations. Several processes are involved regulation decomposition by moisture, but O2 transport large structural pores that drain near saturation particularly important wet soils, which may become more common with increasing flood risk under change. These effects poorly understood because standard incubation experiments disrupt...
Abstract In recent decades European silage maize production has extended northwards, into Scandinavia, and the importance of in fodder increased substantially. For northward expansion it is interest to evaluate both role climate change that occurred already, scenarios for possible future change. The aim this study was assess Swedish climatic conditions, annual variation yield quality (dry weight starch contents) cultivars currently grown Germany. MAISPROQ simulation model used German applied...
Abstract The water and heat balances of an arable field a forest in the boreal zone Scandinavia were explored using 3 yr observations simulations with two different soil–vegetation–atmosphere transfer (SVAT) models over 30-yr period. Results from detailed mechanistic model [coupled mass (COUP)] compared those obtained large-scale type SVAT used weather prediction at European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts [ECMWF tiled land surface scheme (TESSEL)]. COUP agreed well seasonal...
