Effects of phosphorus limitations on Life, Earth system and Society (IMBALANCE-P)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2020,

P is an earthbound and finite element and the prospect of constrained access to mineable P resources has already triggered geopolitical disputes. In contrast to P, availabilities of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to ecosystems are rapidly increasing in most areas of the globe. The resulting imminent change in the stoichiometry of available elements will have no equivalent in the Earth’s history and w ...

A novel approach to determine canopy nitrification in the phyllosphere of European forests: combining multiple isotope tracers and proteogenomic techniques (NITRIPHYLL)

Date du début: 6 juin 2016, Date de fin: 5 juin 2018,

Forest canopies play a significant role in regulating carbon and water exchanges with the atmosphere, with profound effects on our climate. However, their role in altering the chemical composition of precipitation and, consequently, the nutrient cycling within a forest has been less investigated. This is particular relevant for nitrogen (N)-limited forests in the Northern hemisphere, which have be ...

Hydraulic functional traits as determinants of forest function and drought responses. Putting xylem and phloem attributes into the functional trait map. (PHLOEMAP)

Date du début: 15 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 14 janv. 2018,

Forests provide key ecological services such as the regulation of energy, carbon and water balances from local to global scale. These are however under severe pressure due to climate and land use changes, especially in the Mediterranean basin where limited water availability is prominent. It is thus crucial to identify the forest species and areas that are likely to be more vulnerable to reduced w ...

Shifts in ecosystems state in Mediterranean landscapes: when, where and how? The interacting effects of multiple disturbances under climate change (RESCRI)

Date du début: 7 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 6 janv. 2017,

The consequences of altered disturbance regimes in the context of global change will be profound. Despite the interacting effects of multiple disturbances and of altered disturbance regimes are extremely difficult to predict, it is becoming increasingly clear that many ecosystems have critical thresholds at which the system shifts abruptly from one state to another. Such behavior has profound impl ...

Drought impacts on plant-soil interactions and ecosystem stability (S-Clima)

Date du début: 20 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 19 oct. 2016,

Soils and the communities within them have a central role in numerous ecosystem processes, including complex interactions with biotic and abiotic factors, such as climate. The mechanisms of how soil microorganisms interact with climate remain unknown and there may be ways of mitigating climate change impacts through manipulation of soil microbial processes. Mediterranean habitats are particularly ...

Matching soil biodiversity with global biogeochemical cycles (SOBIGLOBIC)

Date du début: 16 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 15 sept. 2016,

"About 80% of the global terrestrial C pool is located in soils, and over 50% of the CO2 evolved from soils is due to respiration of heterotrophic biota involved in net secondary production. Consequently, the flux of C from belowground to the atmosphere through respiration is >10 times larger than anthropogenic emissions, and changes in soil respiration could significantly increase or mitigate cur ...
