Call for abstracts: Soil management practices and land degradation in vineyards (EGU 2025)

EGU call for papers
Submission open for the international conference TerraEnVision

As part of the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), which will take place in Vienna from 27 April to 2 May 2025, abstracts are now being accepted for the session titled Soil Management Practices and Land Degradation in Vineyards.”

This session, aligned with the flagship VINO project, focuses on the impact of agricultural practices on soil degradation in hillside vineyards, addressing key issues such as erosion, shallow landslides, soil compaction, and organic matter loss. Advanced technologies, including remote sensing, field and laboratory measurements, predictive modelling, and mitigation strategies, will be presented to monitor and tackle these challenges. The session aims to foster dialogue among experts on innovative and traditional approaches to sustainable soil management.

Contributions are invited on the following topics:

 

  • Remote sensing techniques and field measurements to monitor the effects of agricultural practices on soil;
  • Implementation, parameterisation, and uncertainty management in predictive models;
  • Simulation of the effects of climate change and soil management practices;
  • Innovative mitigation measures to support farmers and policymakers in combating soil degradation and promoting sustainability.

 

This initiative seeks to integrate science, technology, and agricultural practices to develop effective and sustainable strategies for hillside vineyards.

 

The call for abstracts is open until 15 January 2025.

Further information is available at: Session SSS9.7.

 

Conveners: Claudia Meisina, Jantiene Baartman, Mihai Niculita, Alessia Giarola
