New book: Forests, Carbon Cycle and Climate Change. February 2010
We are pleased to announce that findings of the CARBOFOR project are
now available in the book "Forests, Carbon Cycle and Climate Change".
The results presented in the book summarize the main works of the
CARBOFOR project, which brought together 52 scientists from 14
research units (INRA, CNRS, CEA, Météo-France, Universities of
Paris-Sud and Orléans, IFN, CIRAD) to investigate the effects
of future climate on the carbon cycle and the productivity and
vulnerability of French forests.
