Modelling olive trees and grapevines in a changing climate ?
Empirical models are generally unreliable for their possible application in a changing climate. Complex process-based models have already the potential to provide reliable simulations for a changing climate. There is a clear need to improve the simulation of crop processes in response to increased CO2 and higher temperatures. Process-based models should be improved to simulate soil biochemical processes.
