Regional remediation strategies

Simulated biophysical impact of remediation strategies and their financial viability.

A third and final workshop was held with the stakeholders from the Guadalentín study site. This was the first opportunity that many of them had had to engage with the project since they played a part in the identification and selection of strategies and field trials; and was the last opportunity to disseminate the project's results to them face-to-face. It was also an opportunity for the project to evaluate the research findings and to work out how they could be disseminated and collaboratively applied after the end of the project.

A more detailed study of the Guadalentín study site exemplifying how modelling tools can be employed to study the dynamics and consequences of land use change under drivers of desertification, here with particular reference to unsustainable water use. The modelling makes use of land use change analysis, agent-based modelling and input-output analysis.
