Research:

Study of the agricultural landscape evolution and the impact of soil use and climate change on soil erosion in a Mediterranean context.

Currently affected to the research project: “MASCC: Mediterranean Agricultural Soils Conservation under global change”

http://mascc-project.org

FUNDED by: Arimnet2 http://www.arimnet2.net
HOSTED INSTITUTION: IRD https://en.ird.fr/ird.fr

DESCRIPTION

MASCC research program aims to address mitigation and adaptation strategies to global change by assessing current and future development of Mediterranean agricultural soil vulnerability to erosion in relation to simulated land use, agricultural practices and climate change.  MASCC project gathers researchers and study sites from six Mediterranean countries: France, Morocco, Tunisia, Italy, Spain and Portugal and will be implemented throughout six WPs.
