How AnaEE research infrastructure will Change the European ecosystem research landscape Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems Project coordinator : Dr. Abad Chabbi (INRA, France)
Responding to a globally increased • food demand: the looming crisis • Climate change is projected to increase the • frequency and intensity of droughts Global shortage of food, water and energy “a perfect storm” by 2030 (John Beddington) The size is fixed • Need to predict which kinds of ecosystems are more or less responsive to disturbance… • Creating a positive nutrient budget B Status of the system A Impact Time
Ecosystem responses to disturbance: Detecting early warning Ecosystem Ecosystem services
Questions in ecosystem research – matter of scales 10-1m 100m 106m 102m 10-4m 10-9m courtesy: Martin Gerzabek, BOKU, Wien
Large disparity across sites depending on the focus of the research • Deficit to experimental manipulation with well experimentation design, • Deficit of highly sophisticated and integrated analytical platforms Project Coordinator : Dr. Abad Chabbi (INRA, France) 20 countries, 37 partners, EC contribution of 7.4 M€
Problems • Research gaps • Research duplication • Insufficient critical mass • Lack of multidisciplinarity: separate processes • Lack of standardization • Lack of technology exchange • Lack of analytical capacity • Insufficient linkage of data and models • Limited stakeholder involvement • ….. Current situation
In natura experimentation Bench analytical platforms Modeling platform In vitro experimentation A distributed experimentalinfrastructure for enabling ecosystem research • A coordinated set of experimental platforms across Europe to analyse, test and forecast the response of ecosystems to environmental and land use changes. • ANAEE will be the key instrument for carrying out terrestrial ecosystem research within the European Research Area.
