The general objective of this project was to provide, through a comprehensive review and expert judgment by European experts, state-of-the-art and more robust understanding of interactions between
Changes in soil carbon, the largest terrestrial carbon pool, are critical for the global carbon cycle, atmospheric CO2 levels and climate. Soil carbon depends on productivity of vegetation and
The objective of the project was to estimate the site index by the forest production of the best adapted material (provenances) on the site, and to connect this site index to climate data. The aim was
The overall objective of this 3-year-project was to provide a calibrated 30 years-long re-analysis of space and time variations of C fluxes and pools over Europe and the Globe. As a result, we have a
European forests and the forest-based sector are already contributing significantly to climate change mitigation and substitution, amounting to some 13% of EU emissions. They have the potential to
The Paris Agreement and the EU Climate and Energy Framework set ambitious but necessary targets. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by phasing out the technologies and infrastructures that cause
