<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This doctoral project will focus on advantages and disadvantages of different management practices relying more on ecosystem services provided by cultivated and wild biodiversity and less on
external inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, compared with most current ones, towards agricultural systems that can provide primary production, are climate change adaptation, and have reduced environmental impacts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Advantages and disadvantages will be assessed by developing and applying mechanistic models of plant-environment and plant-plant interactions to different agricultural systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
