Research activities: Modelling the response of woody perennial and vegetable crops under abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity. However, research activities have been carried out to define and transfer irrigation decision support systems and new strategies for optimizing water resource management in the Mediterranean environment.

Research activities: Surface energy balance at the field and catchment scale; Water exchange modelling within the continuous Soil-Plant-Atmosphere systems.
