Cel The role of the African continent in the global carbon cycle, and therefore in climate change, is increasingly recognised. Despite the increasingly acknowledged importance of Africa in the global carbon cycle and its high vulnerability to climate change there is still a lack of studies on the carbon cycle in representative African ecosystems (in particular tropical forests), and on the effects of climate on ecosystem-atmosphere exchange. In the present proposal we want to focus on these spoecifc objectives : 1. Understand the role of African tropical rainforest on the GHG balance of the atmosphere and revise their role on the global methane and N2O emissions. 2. Determine the carbon source/sink strength of African tropical rainforest in the pre-industrial versus the XXth century by temporal reconstruction of biomass growth with biogeochemical markers 3. Understand and quantify carbon and GHG fluxes variability across African tropical forests (west east equatorial belt) 4.Analyse the impact of forest degradation and deforestation on carbon and other GHG emissions Dziedzina nauki natural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystemsnatural scienceschemical sciencesorganic chemistryaliphatic compoundsnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesatmospheric sciencesclimatologyclimatic changesagricultural sciencesagricultural biotechnologybiomass Program(-y) FP7-IDEAS-ERC - Specific programme: "Ideas" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Temat(-y) ERC-AG-PE10 - ERC Advanced Grant - Earth system science Zaproszenie do składania wniosków ERC-2009-AdG Zobacz inne projekty w ramach tego zaproszenia System finansowania ERC-AG - ERC Advanced Grant Instytucja przyjmująca FONDAZIONE CENTRO EURO-MEDITERRANEOSUI CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI Wkład UE € 2 084 390,00 Adres VIA MARCO BIAGI 5 73100 Lecce Włochy Zobacz na mapie Region Sud Puglia Lecce Rodzaj działalności Research Organisations Kierownik naukowy Riccardo Valentini (Prof.) Kontakt administracyjny Laura Panzera (Ms.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych Beneficjenci (2) Sortuj alfabetycznie Sortuj według wkładu UE Rozwiń wszystko Zwiń wszystko FONDAZIONE CENTRO EURO-MEDITERRANEOSUI CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI Włochy Wkład UE € 2 084 390,00 Adres VIA MARCO BIAGI 5 73100 Lecce Zobacz na mapie Region Sud Puglia Lecce Rodzaj działalności Research Organisations Kierownik naukowy Riccardo Valentini (Prof.) Kontakt administracyjny Laura Panzera (Ms.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DELLA TUSCIA Włochy Wkład UE € 322 560,00 Adres VIA S MARIA IN GRADI 4 01100 Viterbo Zobacz na mapie Region Centro (IT) Lazio Viterbo Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Marco Barbini (Dr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych
