A kick-off workshop for BECC action group: Fusing ecosystem models with multi-scale measurements to improve agricultural prediction of yields, soil carbon turnover, and greenhouse gas emissions

28 September 2023 13:00 to 16:30 | Workshop

BECC - Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate - is a strategic research area between Lund University and University of Gothenburg comprising more than 200 researchers working together to better understand the impacts of climate change and land use decisions on terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity. Come and join us for the kick-off workshop of the recently funded BECC-action group "Fusing ecosystem models with multi-scale measurements to improve agricultural prediction of yields, soil carbon turnover, and greenhouse gas emissions".

Please register your participation in order to receive the coffee break or a Zoom link for remote participation.
