Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Forest Ecosystems

EU - CANIF

From 02/1996 to 01/1999

Principal Investigator: Ernst-Detlef Schulze
Staff: Gerhard Gebauer, Guntram Bauer, Michaela Hein
Grant: ENV4-CT95-0053 CANIF - Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Forest Ecosystems

CANIF (CArbon and NItrogen Cycling in Forest Ecosystems) investigates effects of climate, and soil-borne and deposited nitrogen on C- and N-assimilation and turnover as well as on forest organism functioning in broad-leafed and coniferous forests and plantations along a climatic transect through Europe extending from North Sweden to Central Italy.
