TROPECOS - Carbon cycle in tropical coastal ecosystems in the Anthropocene
The TROPECOS project funded by France2030 is one of the project of PEPR FairCarboN and involves a scientific community working on the coastal C cycle in three ultramarine territories (French Guiana, Guadeloupe, New Caledonia) and in two French international research structures with strong, long-standing partnerships in Vietnam (IRD international laboratory LECZ-CARE) and Brazil (CNRS international Research project VELITROP). TROPECOS contributes to produce data and improve scientific knowledge on carbon fluxes in tropical estuaries and mangroves, integrating adequately spatial and temporal variability of yet rapidly-transforming tropical coasts, in order to predict how their greenhouse gas footprint might change in the next decades.
