Objetivo The proposal from the czech republic will be focused on investigation of the impact of future climatic change on a special and ecologically important type of grassland vegetation colonizing heavily polluted and deforested sites. Growth rate and some other physiological processes will be measured in plants grown at ambient and elevated co2 concentration in air. Experiments will be carried out in controlled environments in order to obtain a detailed description of responses of the most important species (calamagrostis epigejos, c. arundinacea, c.villosa and deschampsia flexuosa) to external variables including elevated co2 andtemperature. Also, long term responses of plant population to elevated co2 will be determined using open top chambers of a standard design, and competitive interactions among the grass populations will also be evaluated. Mechanistic mathematical models will be used for syntheses of results obtained in experimental studies, and for prediction of climatically induced changes in growth rate and spreading of grass vegetation in deforested sites. Consequences of these processes for amelioration of siol subsystem and for potential reforestation will also be considered. The proposal from romania is aimed at predicting the possible effects of climate change on grasslands under regional climatic conditions. Open top chambers of a standard desugn will be used on representative grasslands to determine the effects of elevated co2 concentrations. The hurley pasture model will be adapted to local climatic conditions and used to forecast the future growth responses of grasslands in romania. The national institute of meteorology and hydrology, bucharest and the research and production institute for pasture, brasov, will provide longterm climatic data sets and a thirty years data set for pasture yield at different production cycles. Comparisons will be made between forecast data and experimentally derived data in order to make an assessment of the impact of climatic changes on the production potential of pasture in romania. This proposal is complimentary to the existing work under ESPACE grass as it will provide data from a climatic region of Europe which is not present included in the programme.
