DeconstructIng Forest Functions Under Scattered Incident radiatiON

Objective

Unprecedented changes in the properties of sunlight incident on forests worldwide are resulting from regional reverberations from climate change. Climate-intervention strategies also plan to diffuse more radiation to cool the Earth. Because diffuse/direct radiation behave differently within canopies, these changes are expected to have dramatic repercussions for ecosystem carbon balance. Research has so far failed to elucidate the interplay of these mechanisms operating at each level within the canopy, limiting our predictions of forests’ responses to projected patterns of radiation. First, we will evaluate the contribution of canopy vertical structure to forest response under diffuse light. Then, we will quantify the effect of transient clouds movements on forest carbon storage. Measurements throughout the canopy and with diffuse filters will consider the canopy not only in its spatial heterogeneity, but as a temporally dynamic system subject to an ever-changing environment. I project to upscale these elements together using bottom-up modelling, to identify the key processes that underpin forest response to diffuse radiation.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

HORIZON-TMA-MSCA-PF-EF - HORIZON TMA MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
