The European Stress Physiology and Climate Experiment—project: 1: wheat (ESPACE-wheat): introduction, aims and methodology

The response of crops to CO 2 enrichment represents an issue of major concern both for scientists and for policy-makers. In a concerted programme funded by the Commission of the European Communities, a Europe-wide experimental and modeling study was carried out to investigate the effects of increasi...

Description
Summary:The response of crops to CO 2 enrichment represents an issue of major concern both for scientists and for policy-makers. In a concerted programme funded by the Commission of the European Communities, a Europe-wide experimental and modeling study was carried out to investigate the effects of increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, and of environmental stresses such as ozone or water/nutrient shortage, under different climatic conditions on wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). This contribution describes the experimental network and the standard protocol set-up for the assessments which served to improve and to validate process-orientated wheat growth simulation models.
