| Call Identifier : | SFS-47-2017: Management of soil water resources in the EU and Ch |
| Call Type : | Targeted call |
| Call Description : |
Management of soil water resources in the EU and China and its impact on agro-ecosystem functions Soil is the largest terrestrial water reservoir and a decisive factor in crop production and yield variability. A shortage of water to sustain crop production systems and other agro-ecosystem services is a major issue in many Mediterranean areas of the EU and climatic projections suggest that precipitation will become increasingly variable and unreliable in the near future. As many parts of China are facing similar problems, there is a common interest in increasing cooperation on this key issue to promote sustainable production systems in a changing environment. Proposals will provide a platform for research on soil-water resources management based on a system approach by considering a number of regional climate scenarios in Europe and China. |
