Programme: Water4All – European Partnership

Call: 2023 JOINT TRANSNATIONAL CALL “AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM SERVICES”

Project acronym: SERVICO2

Project title: “Impacts of climate, N and P deposition and land use on water as a driver of the greenhouse gases regulatory ecosystem service in headwater catchments.”

Description: The SERVICO2 project studies a little-known but fundamental ecosystem service: the ability of headwater catchmentsf to act as sinks or sources of greenhouse gases such as CO₂, CH₄ or N₂O. Understanding how these fluxes vary in a context of global change is key to preserving the services that nature provides us and to developing effective management strategies.
