  abstract = {{T}he {MUREX} (monitoring the usable soil reservoir experimentally) experiment was designed to provide continuous time series of field data over a long period, in order to improve and validate the {S}oil-vegetation-{A}tmosphere {T}ransfer ({SVAT}) parameterisations employed in meteorological models. {I}ntensive measurements were performed for more than three years over fallow farmland in southwestern {F}rance. {T}o capture the main processes controlling land-atmosphere exchanges, the local climate was fully characterised, and surface water and energy fluxes, vegetation biomass, soil moisture profiles, surface soil moisture and surface and soil temperature were monitored. {A}dditional physiological measurements were carried out during selected periods to describe the biological control of the fluxes. {T}he {MUREX} data of 1995, 1996, and 1997 are presented. {F}our {SVAT} models are applied to the annual cycle of 1995. {I}n general, they succeed in simulating the main features of the fallow functioning, although some shortcomings are revealed.},
