Biological feedbacks and ecosystem resilience under global change: a new perspective on dryland desertification (BIODESERT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Changes in climate and land use (e.g., increased grazing pressure), are two main global change components that also act as major desertification drivers. Understanding how drylands will respond to these drivers is crucial because they occupy 41% of the terrestrial surface and are home to over 38% of the world’s human population. Land degradation already affects ~250 million people in the developin...

Vulnerability of soil organic carbon to climate change in permafrost and dryland ecosystems (VULCAN)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

Soil organic matter provides essential ecosystem services and is one of the largest C reservoirs on Earth, holding more than three-fold as much C as does the atmosphere. Over 75% of the global soil organic C pool is stored in permafrost and dryland regions, both under high pressure due to climate change. In particular, global warming may accelerate soil organic matter decomposition in these ecosys...
