Fostering Research into Coupled Long-Term Dynamics of Climate, Land Use, Ecosystems and Ecosystem Services in the Central French Alps

摘要: The Central French Alps long-term socio-ecological research Platform (Central LTSER) focuses on the coupled dynamics of alpine ecosystems, their uses and climate. creation has provided a unique opportunity to initiate strengthen collaborative transdisciplinary involving range natural social scientists (ecologists, agronomists, climatologists, sociologists) key regional stakeholders from agriculture, tourism nature conservation sectors. main questions were built existing projects at two sites. They include climate change effects biodiversity ecosystem functioning, grassland management, functioning through services, using not only observations human systems, but also manipulative experiments climate, management plant soil diversity feed models. LTSER fostered three important types advances: (1) Long-term data consolidation sharing. (2) Invigorating interdisciplinary (e.g. transformations economic farming systems mountain summer pastures dynamics; mutations in face change). (3) New projects, including adaptation territories, integrated carbon cycle modelling response historical land-use climate; sociological study process construction Platform.
