H2020 CLIMIFUN Project: Climatic and Temporal Control of Microbial Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning: Perspectives of a New Conceptual …

The data collected from the standardized protocol will provide important insights into the role of functional diversity in ecosystem multifunctionality in global drylands and will improve the predictability of the consequences of global environmental …

The production of solar fuels through artificial photosynthetic processes is a major scientific and engineering challenge due to its complexity. All the approaches described to date open new avenues for improving photocatalytic CO2 reduction, but new …

The world faces serious environmental challenges, with ecosystems like forests under constant threat from problems such as wildfires and biodiversity loss. Nature degradation is worsening, and we need better ways to monitor and protect the environment. …

PRECIOUS is a European project that goes beyond qualitative micro-level studies by applying a systemic and multidimensional approach to transform the way we address food loss and waste (FLW). With 18 partners in 11 countries, the EU-funded PRECIOUS …

Extreme weather patterns in the EU, characterized by more frequent droughts and floods, are becoming more common. If left unaddressed, water scarcity could lead to significant annual losses and affect 17% of the population by 2050. The EU-funded RAINS …

Unbalanced nutrient flows are causing significant environmental problems worldwide. Excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, lead to problems such as water pollution and biodiversity loss. These imbalances are particularly damaging in …

Supported by the Marie Skododowska-Curie Actions programme, the DREAM-PLAN project addresses the pressing need for interdisciplinary research aimed at delivering practical solutions to climate-related challenges, as well as the imperative demand for a …

Resilience is the ability of ecosystems to withstand disturbances, a crucial trait for adapting to climate change and increasing aridity. This is especially vital for drylands, where crossing aridity thresholds can lead to sudden and dramatic changes. …

Livestock farming is crucial to Europe's rural economy, but it also causes air and water pollution. Livestock farming is the main source of ammonia and methane emissions in Europe. Current manure management causes soil and water pollution problems. …
