Funded Activity Summary
Mechanistic responses of phosphorus-limited forests to CO2 enrichment. Carbon dioxide continues to accumulate in the atmosphere, driven by human emissions. The future fate of the global forest carbon sink, which significantly slows CO2 increase in the atmosphere, helping to dampen climate change, remains poorly constrained, hindering mitigation and adaptation planning. A key gap concerns the role of phosphorus, crucial in limiting the productivity of Australian woodlands and tropical forests. Model-data fusion based on the results of a crossed CO2 x P experiment in Eucalyptus forest - EucFACE - will help close this vital knowledge gap, and leverage new mechanistic knowledge in a leading global model used for climate and emissions assessment.Funded Activity Details
