Farm models are potentially relevant tools for policy impact assessment. Governments and
international organizations use impact assessment (IA) as an ex-ante policy process and …

Agricultural modeling has long suffered from fragmentation in model implementation. Many
models are developed, there is much redundancy, models are often poorly coupled, model …

A range of new spatial datasets classifying the European environment has been constructed
over the last few years. These datasets share the common objective of dividing European …

Agricultural systems and problems of sustainability are complex, covering a range of
organisational levels and spatial and temporal scales. Integrated assessment (IA) and …

Process-based crop simulation models are increasingly used in regional climate change
impact studies, but little is known about the implications of different calibration strategies on …

Experimental field data are used at different levels of complexity to calibrate, validate and
improve agro-ecosystem models to enhance their reliability for regional impact assessment …

Wheat is Europe's dominant crop in terms of land use in the European Union (EU25). Most
of this wheat area is sown in autumn, ie, winter wheat in all EU25 countries, apart from …

The disciplinary nature of most existing farm models as well as the issue specific orientation
of most of the studies in agricultural systems research are main reasons for the limited use …

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 …

Agriculture is interrelated with the socio-economic and natural environment and faces
increasingly the problem of managing its multiple functions in a sustainable way. Growing …
