COST Actions are a flexible, fast, effective and efficient networking instrument for researchers, engineers and scholars to cooperate and coordinate nationally funded research activities.
COST Actions with WSL lead
- COST Action FP0803: Belowground carbon turnover in European forests, chaired by WSL soil scientist Ivano Brunner. Focusing on the four key areas: fine root turnover, mycorrhizal mycelia turnover, soil C stocks, and biogeochemical modelling, with the intention of linking the different research fields involved, evaluating the potential of new and innovative methodologies, and developing new process-based descriptions of belowground C dynamics within biogeochemical models.
