The research group «Conservation and Sustainable Use of Soil, Water & Biodiversity in Agricultural Systems (AGR-144)» deals with land- and water-management interventions in rainfed (almond, olive, and vineyard) and irrigated (almond, walnut, and subtropical crops) Mediterranean agricultural systems. In terms of knowledge and research, our focus is on land-degradation processes and conservation strategies that encourage productivity, climate-change mitigation, soil quality & rehabilitation, and water-use efficiency in irrigated crops.
