“…A large diversity of PBMs exists in grape literature (see for review Dai et al, 2010 ;Moriondo et al, 2015), developed at different time and spatial scales, ranging from crop models, which aim at simulating the entire plant growth cycle (e.g. Bindi et al, 1996;Garcia de Cortazar-Atauri et al, 2006), to functional models, which focus more on specific processes such as phenology (Cola et al, 2014;Garcia de Cortazar-Atauri et al, 2009 ;Parker et al, 2011Parker et al, , 2013, leaf gas exchanges (Prieto et al, 2012), plant water dynamics (Lebon et al, 2003), or berry growth and quality (Dai et al, 2008 ; Figure 1). The choice of which processes to represent in detail and the level of complexity achieved for a given process is of course conditioned by the understanding of underlying grapevine physiology and the available experimental dataset.…”
