TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis that accounts for a range of adverse weather events that might significantly affect wheat yield in Europe, using climate scenarios based on the most recent ensemble of climate models and greenhouse gases emission estimates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a general picture of agroclimatic conditions in western and central Europe (study area lays between 8.5°W−27°E and 37°63°N), which allows for a more general assessment of climate-change impacts.

TL;DR: A lysimeter experiment conducted on three soil types in a main agricultural production region of Austria in Marchfeld (latitude 48°12′N, longitude 16°34′E and altitude 150m above sea level), was used to test the performance of the three widely used crop models, CERES, SWAP and WOFOST, as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The study proved that a severe drought spell during the sensitive period of vegetative season does have a quantifiable negative effect, even within more humid regions and drought is one of the key causes of interannual yield variability.

TL;DR: In this article, seven methods for estimating daily global radiation, R G, were tested in the Central Europe case study area (lowlands of Austria and the Czech Republic) assuming that no measured global radiation data for parameterisation are available, i.e. with all empirical coefficients required by the selected methods being obtained from previously published studies.
