Distributed Infrastructure for EXPErimentation in Ecosystem Research (EXPEER)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
EXPEER will bring together, major observational, experimental, analytical and modelling facilities in ecosystem science in Europe. By uniting these highly instrumented ecosystem research facilities under the same umbrella and with a common vision, EXPEER will form a key contribution to structuring and improving the European Research Area (ERA) within terrestrial ecosystem research.EXPEER builds ...

Biochar for Carbon sequestration and large-scale removal of greenhouse gases (GHG) from the atmosphere (EUROCHAR)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2014,
In the context of climate change mitigation, technologies for removing the CO2 from the atmosphere are key challenges. The transfer of carbon from the atmosphere into useful carbon deposits is currently one promising option.Transferring biomass to carbon-rich materials with potential mega-scale application is an option to sequester carbon from plant material, taking it out of the short-term carbon ...

Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...

Project PEA (Photosynthesis and Earth Atmospheres): Investigating the effect of evolutionary adaptation to high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations in fossil and living plants (Project PEA)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
Photosynthesis is of critical importance to biodiversity, food security and society within the context of current climate change. The photosynthetic responses of plants to rising atmospheric CO2 have been studied in experiments where CO2 is artificially enriched to predicted levels. However, these experiments involve plants adapted to current “low” ambient levels of ~380ppm CO2, and do not incor ...
