Drought-tolerant yielding plants (DROPS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

DROPS will develop novel methods and strategies aimed at yield maintenance under fluctuating water deficit and at enhanced plant water-use efficiency. We deal with high genotype x environment interaction in the field (any trait can have positive, negative or no effect depending on drought scenarios) with an approach combining Physiology, Genetics, field testing and Ecophysiological modelling. The ...

Environmental quality and pressures assessment across Europe: the LTER network as an integrated and shared system for ecosystem monitoring (EnvEurope)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Background A vast amount environmental data is currently collected across Europe, both at national and international level, generating valuable information for policy makers and citizens. However, much of this information is not readily comparable, posing a major obstacle to the development of well-informed environmental policies and strategies at Europea ...

Monitoring Soil Biological Activity by using a novel tool: EDAPHOLOG-System - system building and field testing (MEDAPHON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

...of soil quality in a very efficient way. Through the tool, the project sought to provide monitoring and spatial delineation of soil biological degradation and contamination, ecological control of agricultural practice, detection of soil biodiversity hot spots. By providing scientists with good quality, up-to-date data, the project hoped to enable soil experts to know when, where and how to interv ...

A Hungarian Night for Researchers 2011- Hungary-EU Research Careers (HEURECA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"We will focus on enhancing researchers’ public recognition. Researchers, presented as persons that everyday people can relate to, can draw attention to science; and can make science seen as a casual but interesting adventure. Better understanding science can also lead to improving researchers’ recognition. Thus, the main message of the event will emphasize the human, accessible yet important figu ...

Climate change: challenge for training applied plant scientists (AGRISAFE)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

...ce on agro-ecosystems. For a substantial part of Europe, climate change scenarios forecast significant decreases of up to 20% in plant productivity, coupled with a general decline in the stability of agricultural ecosystems. This is particularly true of the Carpathian Basin. Agriculture and food safety are extremely sensitive to climate changes, so adaptability to stress is likely to gain priority ...
