Increase-infrastructure

INCREASE hosted 27 Transnational Access projects, a total of 754 user days involving 67 scientists from 12 EU and 2 non-EU countries. The next to visit can be you!

An INCREASE hosted project is published in Nature Climate Change. The paper describes how herbivory by grasshoppers stimulate below ground decomposition processes and how climate change stimulates grasshoppers. Stevnbak et al.

Transnational access

INCREASE provides access to 6 unique climate change experimental facilities. The aim of the transnational access is to open the research facilities for visiting scientists. If you are interested in research grants, see here:

INCREASE in short

INCREASE is an EU-funded infrastructure of 7 large-scale climate change experiments and a phytotron designed to study climate change effects on shrublands.

The participating infrastructures offer unique facilities for European scientists to study longer term effects of climate change on shrubland ecosystems. One main goal of the project is to provide a wider and more efficient access to the research facilities for internal and external users.
