Tvarus pašarinių augalų produktyvumas ir ekstremalūs klimato kaitos reiškiniai: atsparumas, maistinė kokybė ir rekomendacijos rizikos valdymui (FORCROPS)

Aim – to evaluate the effects of climate extremes to the resilience and nutritional quality of forage crops under different nutrient supply and to prepare the recommendations for sustainable forage crops production and management.Objectives:To determine the effects of climate extremes to the productivity and nutritional quality of forage crops and to assess their potential to recover after the extreme events;

To evaluate the effects of nutrient supply on the resilience and nutritive value of forage crops grown under climate extremes;

To evaluate the shifts in botanical composition and forage quality of pastures under extreme climate eventsTo prepare recommendations for sustainable forage crops production with a focus on the adaptation and mitigation strategies improving the resilience and productivity of forage crops to climate change.
