Abstract

Water stress is taken as the main point for studies in future scenarios, where agricultural production must be maintained (or increased) even in the least available water. This proposal aims to give greater support to the part of the project that explores this interaction. This project will be based on this link between a soil biology (with emphasis on microbial communities) and a higher resistance of plants to water stress.
