Sharing the science

... from the DESIRE Project at the European Geosciences Union 2012 Annual Conference
 

 

The DESIRE Project has helped dryland stakeholders around the world to choose and trial new approaches and technologies for sustainable land management and also has many new results to share with the scientific community. On Thursday 26 April 2012, the science was represented at the annual European Geosciences Union conference in Vienna in

 

Session SSS6.10: Combat desertification and soil degradation in arid and humid environments and assess impacts on ecosystem services - approaches and solutions.

 

There were three sub-topics:

  1. Approaches and solutions in desertification mitigation;
  2. Impacts of soil and water conservation measures and ecosystem services;
  3. Combating soil degradation in humid and sub-humid environments.
