General Description

Francesca de Lorenzi, senior researcher

Expert on growth and physiology of field and tree crops, in relation to water availability and adaptation to future water scarcity scenarios

Anna Tedeschi, researcher

Expert on: i) crop and soil responses to saline irrigation water; ii) numerical modeling of water and solute flow in the soil –plant – atmosphere system; iii) irrigation management in intensive agricultural system.

Paul di Tommasi, researcher

focus on monitoring fluxes of water and greenhouse gases in agroecosystems

Maria Riccardi, technician

focus on crops responses to abiotic stresses (drought and salinity), on plant water
relations and on crop yield responses to water availability to identify adaptation options to future water scarcity scenarios.
