SASCHA: Sustainable land management and adaptation strategies to climate change for the Western Siberian corn-belt - SP 100: Project Coordination

Basic data for this project

Description

The interdisciplinary joint project SASCHA investigates interactional effects of climate and land-use change on natural resources and ecosystem functions in the Pre-Taiga and Forest-Steppe ecotone of Western Siberia. Subsequently, sustainable land-use practices and adaption strategies to climate change will be developed. The second project phase is dedicated to the introduction of implementation and monitoring tools for a wise future land use in the region. All research, development and implementation activities will be carried out in close cooperation with regional and local stakeholders from science, administration, and practice. The project results are transferable to neighboring regions facing similar land-use problems. The subproject SP 100 is responsible for the implementation and supervision of a project homepage and a central data base. The Coordination sub-project will push up synthesis, develop a publication strategy, guarantee communication with Russian partners and stakeholders, organize logistics of field surveys, meetings and workshops. SP 100 works in close cooperation with GLUES, the responsible joint project for scientific coordination, moderation and synthesis within the BMBF-Research Programme. SASCHA is part of the BMBF-Research Programme "Sustainable Land Management" Module A "Interaction between Land Management, Climate Change and Ecosystem Services".
