| Abstract |
The ARS AfricaE project investigates the coupled carbon and water cycles of natural and disturbed savanna ecosystems in Southern Africa. It aims to deepen the knowledge on ecosystem functions of rural communities in Southern Africa. This knowledge is crucial for the prediction of the feedback between ecosystem response to continuous pressure like climate change or to disturbances like land use change on one hand and to atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations on the other. Results will help forming better management strategies of savanna ecosystems. ARS AfricaE is a joint research project with four German and six South African partner institutions. The Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture takes the overall coordination of the project. |
