Abstract
Grasslands, besides the plenty ecosystem services they provide, are the main animal feed in extensive grazing systems. However, climate change impacts on forage quantity and quality (Scocco et al., 2016), coupled with an increased variability during the growing season (Insua et al., 2019), are elements of vulnerability for the balance of these livestock systems. Thus, farmers need specific support in monitoring and predicting vegetation growth at a daily time scale. In this regard, simulation models proved to be an effective tool for understanding and predicting biophysical processes of agricultural systems, including grasslands
