Obiettivo The Basic Field Programme of Medalus II is designed to collectthe field data necessary for quantifying and understandingdesertification processes at selected sites across southernEurope. It continues measurements begun during Medalus I andinitiates a number of new activities. The data collected willform inputs into the other Medalus Projects (Projects 2 and 3)where it will be used to validate and develop models (Project 2)and to help develop procedures for managing desertification andunderstanding socio- economic interactions.The general methodological approach by which the project goalswill be achieved is essentially experimental. Similar harmonisedexperimental programmes will be carried out at all field sites.The parameters being measured have been selected with respect tothe requirements of the Medalus models, the need to understandbasic differences and similarities between the Medalus sites, andkey processes and knowledge gaps that became apparent duringMedalus I. The methodology is composed of the following elements:The Medalus Core Field Programme: Plot will be instrumented tomeasure hydrological, climatological and ecological parametersaccording to written guidelines. The data collected will bestored in a specially developed data base.Spectral radiometry of different DRUs and training areas:Measurements of spectral signatures will be made and input into adata base. This will be related to the DRU and field sitecharacterisations carried out under 1 above and in MedalusProject 2.Field investigations of specific topics about which moreinformation is required: These are: stony soils, rainfallexclusion and plant growth, grazing exclusion, exotic vegetation,soil moisture-vegetation-nutrient relations and patterns.These special studies will involve monitoring parameters underboth natural and controlled experimental conditions. The studieswill be linked to the modelling components of Medalus Project 2.
