– assessment of adaptation strategies for agricultural activitie to climate extremes
– integration of socio-economic aspects to support integrated approach to evaluate adaptation strategies

– improved understanding of canopy micrometeorology for more realistic simulation of heat and drought stress impact on crop growth, improving model parameterizations
– improved understanding of surface and boundary layer processes in the basin
