this is only to fill the gap

Welcome! Our consolidated research group (IT1682-22) investigates the impact of global change on agricultural systems, semi-natural grasslands and forests. Our research is devoted to provide solutions to current and future challenges derived from ongoing climate change and land use change. To this aim, we conducted multidisciplinary research, integrating ecological and ecophysiological aspects of studied systems.

In addition, we provide (a) advice for the management of mountain ecosystems, and in particular, those included in the Natura 2000 network; (b) decision support tools based on multicriteria assessment to promote sustainability of farming systems; (c) information and guidance for the development of crops adapted to drought scenarios under ongoing climate change; (d) strategies and assessment of biostimulants to reduce the input of agrochemicals and support the development of agroecology; (e) training of master and doctoral students.

Identifying key practices to enhance biodiversity in the rural environment of the Western Pyrenees

A study, in which the FisioKlima-AgroSosT group of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) participated, identifies the key management practices needed to generate and maintain biodiversity in the grasslands of the Western Pyrenees of Navarre. The work was carried out in collaboration with the Government of Navarre and the company Gestión Ambiental de Navarra (GAN-NIK). Jarraitu berria irakurtzen

We are partners of IKERGAZTE 5th edition

IkerGazte was conceived as a meeting point for the Basque researchers' communities in 2015. More than 8 years later, the 5th edition is knocking on the door. We are glad to announce that our research group, FisioKlima-AgroSost, has been recognized as an official partner. The conference will be held in Donostia between the 17th and the 19th of May and some of our younger members will be presenting. Come and join!

Socio-ecological benefits of mountain grazing

Mountain grazing, together with quality products, brings socio-ecological benefits to society. This is one of the conclusions of a research project led by the UPV/EHU, and which also proposes a multidisciplinary participatory methodology to manage the conflicts that may arise regarding mountain grazing, and to combine different interests.
