Soil-crop-atmosphere interactions play a central role in the multiple functions of rural landscapes. Agro-ecosystem models are increasingly used to support decision making on different scales towards sustainable land use and management. This is accompanied by a demand of model users for model validation to get an idea about the reliability of models. This book contains articles from a workshop on “Modelling water and nutrient dynamics in crop-soil systems”. Data sets from lysimeters and experimental fields of multiyear crop rotations were provided for modellers. A unique data set is provided of a 100 year long term field experiment regarding crop yield and organic carbon development under different management systems.
