TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the largest standardized model intercomparison for climate change impacts so far, finding that individual crop models are able to simulate measured wheat grain yields accurately under a range of environments, particularly if the input information is sufficient.

TL;DR: The Stics model as mentioned in this paper is a model developed at INRA (France) since 1996 to simulate crop growth as well as soil water and nitrogen balances driven by daily climatic data.

TL;DR: It is concluded that multimodel ensembles can be used to create new estimators with improved accuracy and consistency in simulating growth dynamics, and argued that these results are applicable to other crop species, and hypothesize that they apply more generally to ecological system models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three methods for estimating the actual evapotranspiration of vineyard using the soil water balance or energy balance methods, and showed that the observed differences between the estimated values were not significant, whatever the length of the period considered (3-31 days) and the rate of evapOTranspiration (1.8-3.5mm −1 ).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the ability of 21 crop models to capture the impact of elevated CO2 concentration on maize yield and water use as measured in a 2-year Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment experiment conducted at the Thunen Institute in Braunschweig, Germany (Manderscheid et al., 2014).
