COST PROJECT FA0901

Project: "Putting Halophytes to work: from genes to ecosystems"
Cooperation with: Universidad de Valencia, Departamento de Biologia Vegetal, Spain
Title: Non-invasive measurements of soil electrical conductivity

Training in electromagnetic induction techniques and using EMI sensors as a tool to prepare 3-D multitemporal soil salinity maps as well as in using electromagnetic induction method for soil salinity assessment. The research were done on salt affected areas within the Comunidad Valenciana and related to determination of plant diversity by detailed studies of plant vegetation differentiation (especially halophytes plants) in those areas.
EMI sensors field measurements of EC, soil sampling of salinity soils and vegetation data obtaining on different land use (agricultural use also). Practicing in research laboratory on Salt-Affected Soils and assessment of soil-plant relation on mentioned area based on performed analyses.
