CARBO-North is an EU 6th Framework project which aims to quantify the carbon budget in Northern Russia across temporal and spatial scales.
Activities address rates of ecosystem change, effects on the carbon budget (radiative forcing), and global climate and policy implications. For this purpose the project reconstructs past changes in climate and environment, monitors and interprets present-day processes, and models future 'transient' and 'equilibrium' ecosystem responses for the next 100 years and beyond.
