Ecosystem loss of soil inorganic carbon with agricultural conversion: fate, rate, mechanisms, and pathways (ELSIC)
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
The goal of this proposed research is to understand effects of agricultural conversions on soil inorganic carbon (SIC) cycle. Mitigating rising atmospheric CO2 is a top priority for human and environmental health. Despite their prevalence and increasing pressure from land-use changes, effect of SIC on climate regulation is thought to be insignificant in the short-term, leading to focused efforts a ...

ICOS improved sensors, network and interoperability for GMES (ICOS-INWIRE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 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 ...

Effects of Climate Change on Air Pollution Impacts and Response Strategies for European Ecosystems (ECLAIRE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
ÉCLAIRE investigates the ways in which climate change alters the threat of air pollution on European land ecosystems including soils. Based on field observations, experimental data and models, it establishes new flux, concentration and dose-response relationships, as a basis to inform future European policies.Starting with biosphere-atmosphere exchange measurements, ÉCLAIRE quantifies how global w ...

Operational Global Carbon Observing System (GEOCARBON)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 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 ...

Joining ecophysiological Understanding and global ecosystem modelling for improved simulation of Land surface Interactions with the Atmosphere (JULIA)
Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
"A thorough understanding of feedbacks between the terrestrial biosphere and the climate system is pivotal for any climate change mitigation strategy. Such feedbacks could significantly affect and potentially accelerate climate change. Terrestrial biosphere models are increasingly coupled interactively to ocean and atmosphere models with the goal to quantify these feedbacks. However, state-of-the- ...
