Climate effects of soil conservation systems in drylands
Abstract
The project "Climate Impacts of Soil Conservation Systems in Drylands in the Wagram Climate Region" builds on previous work on soil conservation, aims to shed light on it from a new point of view, in line with the questions posed above, and contributes to the development of strategies for future challenges. Water balances shall provide an insight into the water dynamics in the soil and thus contribute to a better evaluation of the benefits of soil protection systems. Easy-to-use mobile measurement systems for further use after the end of the project will be developed. The measurement results provide important data for research beyond the practical benefits and the issues addressed are of great relevance in the scientific assessment of climate adaptation strategies. Objectives are (1) the Assessment and survey of climate impacts of soil conservation systems in drylands and (2) the evaluation of production conditions for regional organic vegetable production by soil conservation system.
