29This study presents results from a major grassland model intercomparison exercise, and 30 highlights the main challenges faced in the implementation of a multi-model ensemble 31 prediction system in grasslands. Nine, independently developed simulation models linking 32 climate, soil, vegetation and management to grassland biogeochemical cycles and production 33 were compared in a simulation of soil water content (SWC) and soil temperature (
