|
Summary |
The purpose of this project is to pool the capacity of 12 institutes to face a transnational issue that is adaptation to climate change impacts on Atlantic forests. It will set up tools for monitoring climate change and its impact on the Atlantic coast and test the efficiency of adaptative measures. |
