CEAM THE CHALLENGES FOR THE NEAR FUTURE • Assuming that climate change may directly modify stress in drylands (drought intensity and/or duration) and indirectly disturbance regime (e.g.fires) … • How restoration strategies and techniques can cope with the uncertain future responses of species and ecosystems?
Prospects …. • Stay on the pecautionary principle: to rely on local biodiversity for adaptation (and mitigation) to climate change • Prioritize RTD on extremely degraded land subjected to high water stress (this might be the clue)
