Impacts and risks from higher-end scenarios: Strategies for innovative solutions (IMPRESSIONS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
IMPRESSIONS will provide empirically-grounded, transformative science that quantifies and explains the consequences of high-end climate scenarios for both decision-makers and society. IMPRESSIONS will develop and apply a novel participatory methodology that explicitly deals with uncertainties and strong non-linear changes focussing on high-end climate change, but also including intermediate warmin ...

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON THE DYNAMICS AND STRUCTURE OF OLD-GROWTH TEMPERATE RAINFORESTS (CLIMADYST-RAINFOR)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Many temperate forests are considered to be in an equilibrium state to which they return after a disturbance. Interactions between tree functional traits and disturbances in shaping forest composition and structure have mainly focused on spatially discrete disturbances, e.g. gaps, fire. Other disturbances occurring at relatively larger spatial scale, e.g. drought, might have diffuse but long lasti ...

Assessing climate change impacts over large areas of primary forests in southern South America (FORECOFUN-SSA)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
"Many uncertainties still exist about forest dynamic responses to climate change. One major source of uncertainty is how mechanisms at the scale of individuals are linked to ecosystem-level functioning (i.e. carbon exchange, water balance and biodiversity). This project will address this question by developing a modeling framework to analyze forest-climate interactions and ecological mechanisms co ...

Models for Adaptive Forest Management (MOTIVE)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
"The project MOdels for AdapTIVE forest Management (MOTIVE) will evaluate the consequences of the intensified competition for forest resources given climate and land use change. The project focuses on a wide range of European forest types under different intensities of forest management. In particular, MOTIVE examines impacts with respect to the disturbance regimes determining forest dynamics. MOT ...

"Biodiversity And Climate Change, A Risk Analysis" (BACCARA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"1. The effect of climate change on forest biodiversity will be evaluated through better understanding of the ecological processes that shape species composition and are particularly sensitive to climate conditions. Forest species composition will correspond to the assemblage of tree species and both symbiotic and antagonistic species that can drive tree species composition. Climate conditions wil ...
