Workshop Biogeochemistry of submerged agro-ecosystems: Properties, processes, cycles and functions 21.09.2014 - 25.9.2014

Place: Kardinal - Döpfner - HausFreising, Germany Paddy soils may originate from many different types of soil but are highly modified by human activities. They are mostly managed under submerged conditions, leading to a unique agro-ecosystem in terms of element cycling. However, climate change and competition from other sectors will severely affect water availability for rice cropping. A joint international workshop, organized by two DFG Research Units focusing on paddy rice production and associated paddy soil development, aims at gaining more insight into processes of C and N balances due to different management systems.
