Insights into the ecophysiological and molecular significance of xylem hydraulic capacitance in Populus under drought stress (Tree Capacitance)
Date du début: 16 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 15 avr. 2014,
Global change is expected to amplify the frequency and the severity of heatwaves and drought events especially in Western Europe. These droughts jeopardize tree health and integrity of European temperate forests and tied ecosystems. There is a need to identify the processes that may allow trees to overcome severe water scarcities. Tolerance to xylem embolism is an intrinsic and operational trait r...

Background
The quantity and quality of riparian habitats along the River Ter in Catalonia (Spain) has decreased in most areas of the river basin. In many places, only impoverished woodland habitats remain in a narrow belt along the riverâs course. A key factor has been the loss of natural river dynamics following agricultural, urban or industrial develo...

Physiological and environmental controls of water and ozone fluxes in a short rotation poplar plantation: from leaf to tree to ecosystem scale. (PHYSIO-POP)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
One of the consequences of global climate changes is the altered global water availability. Among the greenhouse gases (GHGs) causing global climate changes, carbon dioxide (CO2) has received most attention. Over the last decennia the impact of rising CO2 concentrations on crops has been widely studied. The study of tropospheric ozone (O3) and its consequences on crops has not been as extensive, a...

Impact of poplar bioenergy cultivation on ozone and volatile organic compound emissions (SRF-OZO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2014, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
"The need for renewable energy sources to meet EU Directive 2009/28/EC is expected to lead to a considerable expansion in the planting of dedicated fast-growing biomass crops managed as Short Rotation Forestry (SRF). Among them Poplar (Populus spp) is currently the most widely planted SRF species and thus an increase in large-scale SRF poplar plantations might be expected. Poplars are characterize...
