Integrated systems to enhance sequestration of carbon, producing energy crops by using organic residues (Project)

The project demonstrates for the region Emilia Romagna in Italy how organic residues (sewage sludge, manures, others) can be successfully utilised in the agricultural production of plant biomasses intended for generating renewable energy, thus contributing to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and the sequestration of significant amounts of carbon in soil.

Greenhouse gas management in European land use systems (Project)

Almost the entire European land cover is used to produce crops, meat and wood. In view of the changing climate it is especially important to know how much of the greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere or fixed in biomass and soil by forest and agriculture.  One of the largest European research efforts for elucidating these mechanisms is the FP7 project 'GHG-Europe? coordinated by the...

EU project: Vectors of Change in Oceans and Seas Marine Life, Impact on Economic Sectors (VECTORS) (Project)

The VECTORS Project seeks to collate and extend available knowledge on current and potential future pressures and vectors of change, whether they are direct (e.g., invasives in ballast water, climate change, fishery) or indirect (e.g., demographics that increase coastal habitation, tourism, policy). With a better understanding of potential vectors of change, projections on changes in ecosystems,...

EU project: Quantification of climate change impacts on economic sectors in the Arctic (Project)

Changing climatic conditions in the Arctic have far-reaching consequences both economically and environmentally, in particular considering the specificity and vulnerability of the region. On the one hand, there may be opportunities due to enhanced accessibility; on the other hand, changes in the future use of the Arctic region would involve potentially increased anthropogenic environmental...

Quantification of the carbon stocks and carbon sequestration in urban trees (Project)

The project aims to develop the methodological foundation and test concepts for the establishment of carbon inventories in urban areas, focusing on biomass in urban trees. Methods encompass (1) an inventory procedure based on remote sensing, (2) gathering biomass data for urban trees and (3) deriving biomass functions and biomass growth functions.

Assessment oBIOACID: Biological Impacts of Ocean Acidification - Biologische Auswirkungen der Ozeanversauerungf fluxes of nitrogen species between the atmosphere and forest ecosystems in the northeast German plain. (Project)

The growing evidence of potential biological impacts of ocean acidification affirms that this global change phenomenon may pose a serious threat to marine organisms and ecosystems. Despite a wealth of knowledge on specific effects of acidification and the related changes in seawater chemistry on the physiology of individual marine taxa, many uncertainties still remain. Because the majority of...

Stable S isotopes as indicators for Sulphur immission and turnover in ecosystems (Project)

The stable S isotope composition differs in sulphur (S) of different origin. S originating from fossil fuel as well as S from fertiliser has a S isotopic composition that clearly differs from naturally occurring S in soils of e.g. agricultural or forest stands. Hence, it is possible to trace S deriving from fertilisers added to agricultural stands as plant nutrient on its way through the...
