CHANGES THE LEAF-ATMOSPHERE INTERFACE IN RELATION WITH FOREST DECLINE

Objective

TO GENERATE SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION IN ORDER TO ELUCIDATE THE INTERFERENCE OF AIR POLLUTION WITH KEY PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN FOREST TREES.

A BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF THE EARLY PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS WHICH PRECEED THE FOREST DIE-BACK WOULD ALLOW :

-A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPONSIBLE PHENOMENA;

-IN SOME CASES, AN EARLY DETECTION OF THE DECLINE, BEFORE THE APPEARANCE OF VISIBLE INJURIES.
AMONG THE VARIOUS HYPOTHESES,TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE FOREST DIE-BACK, MANY OF THEM MENTION A POSSIBLE MODIFICATION OF THE "LEAF-ATMOSPHERE"INTERFACE PROPERTIES.
IN COLLABORATION WITH SEVERAL EUROPEAN TEAMS, DIFFERENT COMPLEMENTARY ASPECTS OF THE COMPLEX PHENOMENA WHICH REGULATE CUTICULAR AND STOMATAL EXCHANGES FROM AND TO THE NEEEDLES WILL BE STUDIED.

THE STUDY OF PLANTS ORIGINATED FROM DIFFERENT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES (BELGIUM, F.R.G. FRANCE, LUXEMBOURG, U.K.) WILL ALLOW TO DRAW GENERAL CONCLUSIONS AND TO SEPARATE THOSE BOUNDED TO LOCAL EFFECTS.
THE OBSERVATIONS WILL BE MADE IN REALISTIC POLLUTION CONDITIONS (OPEN-TOP CHAMBERS) AND COMBINED WITH OTHERS, MADE AFTER SIMULATION OF ACID RAIN AND/OR GAS (O3,SO2) EXPOSURE IN CULTURE CHAMBERS.

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.

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.

Data not available

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Data not available

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.
