Duration:
From Nov 1, 2015 until Jan 31, 2025
Target Groups:
soil research community,
wider research community
About the Project:
How can grassland in the Alps and the foothills of the Alps be used sustainably in the face of climate change? In cooperation with farmers and government institutions, the interdisciplinary SUSALPS consortium developed practical research results from experiments, long-term field studies, remote sensing and modeling.
