| Abstract |
The long-term goal of ESCOBA (European Study of Carbon in
the Ocean, Biosphere and the Atmosphere) is to
investigate, quantify, model and eventually predict the
behaviour of the global carbon cycle in response to the
perturbation by man and with respect to its interaction
with the physical climate system on timescales of up to
several hundred years. ESCOBA is structured into three
sister-projects which cover the carbon system in the
ocean (ESCOBA-Ocean), on land (ESCOBA-Biosphere) and in
the atmosphere (ESCOBAAtmosphere). The present proposal
represents ESCOBA-Biosphere which objectives are to
forecast interactions (impacts and feedbacks) between
terrestrial biosphere, soils, and climate.
