Evolutionary responses to a warming world: physiological genomics of seasonal timing (E-Response)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

The world is seasonal and organisms’ adjustment of their seasonal timing to this environmental variation is crucial for their fitness. Climate change is strongly impacting seasonal timing which makes a better understanding of the potential for micro-evolution of timing in natural populations essential. As any phenotypic change ultimately involves changes in the physiological mechanism underlying t ...

"Species range shifts, aboveground-belowground community reassembly and consequences for ecosystem functioning" (SPECIALS)

Date du début: 1 juin 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,

"Climate warming promotes intra-continental range shifts of plants, animals and microbes from lower to higher latitudes and altitudes. Plants may shift their ranges independent of their co-evolved aboveground and belowground biota, however little is known about how these communities re-assemble in the new range and how that process influences community dynamics and ecosystem functioning. Thus far, ...

Knowledge-based Sustainable Management for Europe's Seas (KnowSeas)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,

Europe’s four regional seas (Baltic, Black, Mediterranean and NE Atlantic) have suffered severe environmental degradation due to human pressure. Existing measures to manage pressures have proven inadequate and the EC has responded by proposing a new policy (Maritime Strategy Blue Book) and environmental legislation (Marine Strategy Directive), both currently close to adoption. These instruments re ...

Possible Stimulation by Mycophagous Collimonas Bacteria of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Functioning (ColliAM)

Date du début: 1 mai 2011, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2013,

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi are key components in sustainable agriculture as they enable efficient nutrient uptake by crops when chemical fertilization is reduced. AM fungal functioning is, however, influenced by other microbes that interact with their hyphae. One of these microorganisms is the recently discovered genus Collimonas. Collimonas bacteria show a great potential application in sus ...

Bacterial Abiotic Cellular Stress and Survival Improvement Network (BACSIN)

Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,

BACSIN is a 16-member consortium with the main focus to improve rational exploitation of the catalytic properties of bacteria for the treatment and prevention of environmental pollution. Current application of bacteria in the environment is hindered by the lack of knowledge on the effects of stresses on cellular activity, most importantly abiotic stresses prevailing on site (e.g., desiccation or n ...

"In situ monitoring of oxygen depletion in hypoxic ecosystems of coastal and open seas, and land-locked water bodies" (HYPOX)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,

"Hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions in aquatic ecosystems increase in number, duration and extent due to global warming and eutrophication. Global warming will lead to degassing of oxygen, increased stratification, reduced deep-water circulation and changes in wind patterns affecting transport and mixing. Projected increases in hypoxia (e.g. doubling of “dead zones”) are accompanied by enhanced emiss ...

"Conflicting demands of land use, soil biodiversity and the sustainable delivery of ecosystem goods and services in Europe" (SOILSERVICE)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2012,

"European soil biodiversity is pivotal for delivering food, fiber and biofuels and carbon storage. However, the demand is greater than the amount of soil available, as production of biofuels competes with areas for food production and nature. Moreover, intensified land use reduces soil biodiversity and the resulting ecosystem services. SOILSERVICE will value soil biodiversity through the impact on ...
