Objectif 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 Champ scientifique natural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystemsnatural scienceschemical sciencesorganic chemistryaliphatic compoundsnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesatmospheric sciencesclimatologyclimatic changesagricultural sciencesagricultural biotechnologybiomass Programme(s) 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) Thème(s) ERC-AG-PE10 - ERC Advanced Grant - Earth system science Appel à propositions ERC-2009-AdG Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Régime de financement ERC-AG - ERC Advanced Grant Institution d’accueil FONDAZIONE CENTRO EURO-MEDITERRANEOSUI CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI Contribution de l’UE € 2 084 390,00 Adresse VIA MARCO BIAGI 5 73100 Lecce Italie Voir sur la carte Région Sud Puglia Lecce Type d’activité Research Organisations Chercheur principal Riccardo Valentini (Prof.) Contact administratif Laura Panzera (Ms.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée Bénéficiaires (2) Trier par ordre alphabétique Trier par contribution de l’UE Tout développer Tout réduire FONDAZIONE CENTRO EURO-MEDITERRANEOSUI CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI Italie Contribution de l’UE € 2 084 390,00 Adresse VIA MARCO BIAGI 5 73100 Lecce Voir sur la carte Région Sud Puglia Lecce Type d’activité Research Organisations Chercheur principal Riccardo Valentini (Prof.) Contact administratif Laura Panzera (Ms.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DELLA TUSCIA Italie Contribution de l’UE € 322 560,00 Adresse VIA S MARIA IN GRADI 4 01100 Viterbo Voir sur la carte Région Centro (IT) Lazio Viterbo Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Marco Barbini (Dr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée
