Competitively funded FairCarboN projects

These projects are tackling research challenges in FairCarboN's priority research areas:

  • Axis 1: Quantifying carbon inputs, transfers, transformations, and storage along the terrestrial-coastal-atmospheric continuum
  • Axis 2: Coupling biogeochemical cycles in a context of global change
  • Axis 3: Expansion of plant biomass production and use
  • Axis 4: Economic and social issues: drivers and impacts of change

Carbon dynamics at the land-sea interface with a focus on the intertidal zones and coastal wetlands along the Atlantic and French Channel

Do microbes efficiently utilise soil carbon and nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems managed by humans?

CLIM-FAS will clarify how the French agricultural industry is contributing to and could help mitigate the effects of climate change. It will also scientifically evaluate the economic and regulatory effectiveness of diverse policy-based mitigation strategies.

Carbon sink or methane source - Local and global assessment of how lentic waters affect the climate

Using experimental research and modelling to understand how drought affects carbon fluxes and stocks in forest ecosystems

The world is facing a climate emergency and must thus work towards carbon neutrality. Against this backdrop, terrestrial ecosystems are facing major challenges, including the negative impacts of climate change on carbon dioxide sequestration via photosynthesis.

Changes in Arctic permafrost ecosystems: carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial and aquatic environments

PREFALIM will examine how changes in consumer behaviours and food preferences could reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and increase soil carbon storage.
