Welcome Message

The next XV Portuguese Spanish Plant Water Relations Symposium (Plant Water Relations Lisbon 2022) will take place online, from 26 to 28 January 2022.

This Symposium, gathers researchers, practitioners, stakeholders and students every two years, since 1993. The Plant Water Relations Lisbon 2022 will focus on the theme “Water relations under climate change: from genes to ecosystem”.

Plant Water Relations Lisbon 2022 assembles an inspiring scientific program bringing together contributions and discussions on sustainable water use in agricultural and forest systems for increasing plant productivity and other ecosystem services.

Furthermore, researchers, politicians, and practitioners will discuss, in a special session, the best water management strategies coping with future warmer conditions and scarcer water resources. Finally, a satellite workshop, will address novel and critical plant phenotyping methodologies related to water relations.

We welcome contributions from a large variety of themes within the scope of plant water relations. These include fundamental and applied research, molecular to remote sensing scales, or policy issues regarding water management. You are also invited to submit your results to a special issue of the Agricultural Water Management journal.

We also want to promote the virtual networking through dedicated time in special events during our symposium.

Attending to the important topic “Water relations under climate change: from genes to ecosystem” we do anticipate an interesting and very productive Plant Water Relations Lisbon 2022. We therefore encourage everyone to participate and contribute to this call.

We are looking forward to see you all!
