Keywords: climate change, land use, soil conservation, Desertification Adaptation Models Resilience, local drivers.
Goals:

The main objective is to demonstrate innovative climate change adaption technologies with regards to land use, soil conservation and plant support. These are combined into “Desertification Adaptation Models’’ (DAM)’’, specifically designed to counter aridification and subsequent land desertification in 3 regions of Europe (Italy, Portugal and Spain). These systems are taking into account climate change variables and multiple levels of structural and functional complexity of the landscape, to optimize resilience to local drivers of climate change (retirado da candidatura, “project objectives”, p. 46)
