Soil C biogeochemical cycle

CibiCed research group is formed by 1 Senior Scientist. Its research line falls under the theme 7 "Impact of Global Change (V+M+S)" addressing the challenge 7C "Biogeochemical Cycles" (in addition to 7A,7D,7E,7F,7G) and focusing especially on the C cycle in forest soils and the potential of these ecosystems as CO2 sinks. The group has been collaborating with the Unidade de Xestión Forestal Sostenible (UXFS) for more than a decade, participating in various forestry projects with the Departments of Agroforestry Engineering and Plant Production of the USC. This research has been possible by obtaining funding at European (HPMF-CT-1999-00152, HPMF-CT-2001-01836) and regional (PGIDIT06PXIB400131) level, as well as the achievement of Coordinated Research Projects in 5 consecutive calls of the Plan National R+D+i (1FD1997-0585-C03-02, AGL2001-3871-C02-02, AGL2004-07976-C02-02, AGL2007-66739-C02-02, AGL2010-22308-C02-02.
