Climate change, manifested by increasing temperatures and changing the precipitation regime, can aggravate erosion, by decreasing the content of organic matter in the soil, salinization, loss of soil biodiversity and aridification or desertification phenomena. The knowledge of the salinity conditions of the soils underpins the agrophytotechnics of agricultural crops, the rational application of ameliorative and agricultural technologies during the growing season, to improve the soils and protect their fertility against secondary degradation processes, to obtain safe and stable productions. Experiments are carried out with different types of soil works, testing of varieties and hybrids from different species of agricultural and horticultural plants, different types of chemical and biological fertilization, in different doses, to highlight the most optimal ones, for increasing production and of economic efficiency. Other measures to increase soil fertility that can be taken within ARDS Braila will be the practice of green and cover crops, double or successive crops, agroforestry curtains with interspersed bands of perennial legumes, for the sequestration of atmospheric carbon and nitrogen.

Agricultural Research and Development Station of Braila (SCDA Braila), Romania was established in 1954 as the first scientific research unit for irrigated crops in Romania, and it is a public interest unit subordinated to the "Gheorghe Ionescu Şişeşti" Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences in Bucharest, which in turn is subordinated to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Romania.
ARDS Braila has four administrative laboratories which operate over a total area of 2817 ha, in seven experimental centers, and coordinate Agrosmart Cluster, from 2020, and Agrodatasmart Living Lab from 2022.
Also, ARDS Braila is associate member in Bio-based Industries Consortium from 2024, and coordinates the Agrodatasmart Living Lab – that is member in grow in European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), from 2024, also.
