•We simulate carbon dioxide fluxes over seven wheat sites in Europe.•Seasonal variations of GPP and TER are well represented by the model (R>0.7).•Error on the annual budget over all sites is less than 15% for GPP and TER.•Model capacity at estimating annual budget of NEE is low, compared to GPP...
