A model-driven decision support system for vineyard water status management: a time-dependent sensitivity analysis

Abstract

International audienceThe global sensitivity analysis of a dynamic soil water balance model embedded in a Decision Support System for vineyard water management is achieved via the Sobol variance-based method. The sensitivity analysis is applied sequentially at each simulation step so that the variation of parameter influence over time can be followed. Results allow identification of four soil-related parameters having the highest influence at the vine plot scale, and for various climate scenarios. This provides fundamental information for the operational use of the model, i.e. when few input data are available to the end-user
