Learning Outcomes:
Soils in tropics and subtropics: influence of climate change on the biodiversity activities impact on the ecosystem services and functions
Goal of the course:
- Soil focusing on the tropics, subtropics- current state, threats, impacts due to climate change and the adaptation strategies opted from the policy level to farmers level
- Role of soil in the food production and resource assessment under the extreme climate change scenarios
- Evaluate some case studies and reports of the tropics and subtropics (including Aridic and semi-aridic regions) -> focus can be tropical forests, tropical agriculture, livestock, land use change
