Development of improved perennial non-food biomass and bioproduct crops for water stressed environments (WATBIO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
"The goal of WATBIO is to use the power of next generation sequencing to develop an accelerated route for producing new germplasm with enhanced drought tolerance whilst maintaining biomass productivity and quality in water scarce, marginal environments unsuitable for food crops.This will be achieved for three non-food crops (Populus, Miscanthus and Arundo), suitable for growth on water scarce, mar ...

Targeted disease prophylaxis in European fish farming (TargetFish)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 65.000 people with a turnover of 3 billion €. However, the lack of authorised veterinary medicinal products and the consequent disease outbreaks in farmed fish species costs the sector 20% of the production value. The most appropriate method for disease control, both on economical and ethical grounds, is disease prevention by vaccinatio ...

Integrated non-CO2 Greenhouse gas Observing System (INGOS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
InGOS will support and integrate the observing capacity of Europe for non-CO2 greenhouse gases (NCGHG: CH4, N2O, SF6, H2 and halocarbons). The emissions of these gases are very uncertain and it is unknown how future climate change will feedback into the land use coupled emissions of CH4 and N2O. The NCGHG atmospheric abundances will increase further in the future and the emissions of these gases a ...

ICOS improved sensors, network and interoperability for GMES (ICOS-INWIRE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The fundamental objective of the ICOS-INWIRE project is to enhance the capabilities of the ICOS infrastructure and fill in critical gaps for monitoring fluxes and concentrations of greenhouse gases, in order to meet the needs of operational users in the GMES program. It will achieve this by: Developing and testing autonomous sensors systems for greenhouse gas fluxes and concentration, enhancing th ...

Strengthening the cooperation between the US and the EU in the field of environmental research infrastructures (COOPEUS)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
Developing world-class research infrastructures for environmental research is one of the top priorities of European authorities. This proposal brings together scientists and users being involved in Europe’s major environmental related research infrastructure projects, i.e. EISCAT, EPOS, LifeWATCH, EMSO, and ICOS, with their US counterparts that are responsible for the NSF funded projects AMISR, EA ...

AFRICA-GHG: The role of African tropical forests on the Greenhouse Gases balance of the atmosphere (AFRICA-GHG)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
The role of the African continent in the global carbon cycle, and therefore in climate change, is increasingly recognised. Despite the increasingly acknowledged importance of Africa in the global carbon cycle and its high vulnerability to climate change there is still a lack of studies on the carbon cycle in representative African ecosystems (in particular tropical forests), and on the effects of ...

Operational Global Carbon Observing System (GEOCARBON)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
Today, countries use a wide variety of methods to monitor the carbon cycle and it is difficult to compare datafromcountry to country and to get a clear global picture. The current global observational and modelling capabilitiesallow us to produce estimates of carbon budget at different level (from local to global) but many uncertainties stillremain. Decision makers need now more than ever systemat ...

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 ...

An Integrated Network on Climate Change REsearch Activities on Shrubland Ecosystems (INCREASE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
"The network INCREASE consists of 6 infrastructures (large-scale field sites) with experimental manipulation of climate e.g night time warming and extended summer drought. Within INCREASE we will improve the technology and methodology for studies of climate change effects on European shrublands. The main objectives of INCREASE are: 1. To optimize technologies and methodologies for non-intrusive fi ...

The terrestrial Carbon cycle under Climate Variability and Extremes – a Pan-European synthesis (CARBO-Extreme)
Date du début: 1 juin 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
The aim of this project is to achieve an improved knowledge of the terrestrial carbon cycle in response to climate variability and extremes, to represent and apply this knowledge over Europe with predictive terrestrial carbon cycle modelling, to interpret the model predictions in terms of vulnerability of the terrestrial – in particular soil – carbon pools and give according advice to EU climate a ...

Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,
The ICOS project will build an infrastructure for co-ordinated, integrated, long-term high-quality observational data of the greenhouse balance of Europe and of adjacent key regions of Siberia and Africa. Consisting of a centre for co-ordination, calibration and data in conjunction with networks of atmospheric and ecosystem observations, ICOS is designed to create the scientific backbone for a bet ...

Novel tree breeding strategies (NOVELTREE)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,
"The challenges facing forest geneticists and tree breeders include recognition of changing demands on forests for a wider range of high value forest products and sustainability of forest ecosystems under climate change. NOVELTREE is designed to enable significant genetic improvement of tree characteristics and forest products properties to satisfy the needs (quality, quantity, sustainability, vul ...

Coordination Action Carbon Observation System (COCOS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,
"COCOS will assess the status of harmonization of key carbon cycle variables with international partners. It will improve the interoperability of data sets that are used in global scale carbon cycle studies through joint activities between ecosystem, atmospheric and ocean bottom-up and top down observation communities. COCOS will also perform integrated regional-scale multiple constraint assessmen ...
