Balance of water and salt in soils

Quantification and modeling of water balance and soil salts and their influence on communities of halophytes in agro-ecosystems of semi-arid Aragon under different climate change scenarios,

The overall objective of this project was to study the behavior of halophytes as exporters of salts in semiarid agroecosystems of Aragon and to develop an eco-hydrological model to predict future trends of these systems in drier conditions due to climate change.  Our participation included the development and implementation of a mathematical and numerical model for the coupled simulation of surface and subsurface water flow and growth and reproduction of semi-arid vegetation.
