Abstract
The rise in ambient CO2 concentration is expected to be accompanied by increased mean annual temperatures. Crop simulation models have been used to predict the effects that these environmen tal changes will have on yields (e.g., Adams et al. 1990). However, as yet, there are no reports of these predictions having been tested experimentally under controlled conditions of temperature and CO2. Our objective was to test the ability of a winter wheat model (ARCWHEAT) to predict the effects of temperature and CO2 by compari son with data from crops grown in controlled environments.
