[Joint call for proposals – FRB-CESAB / ITTECOP]

Territorial approach to biodiversity: transport infrastructures, natural and agricultural environments

[Joint call for proposals – FRB-CESAB / ITTECOP]

The FRB, with the support of ITTECOP programme, call on the scientific community to submit projects to the Centre for the Synthesis and Analysis of Biodiversity (CESAB), based on the analysis and synthesis of existing data on the theme “Territorial approach to biodiversity: transport infrastructures, natural and agricultural environments” at a European geographic level.

 

The projects will call for the analysis of large sets of data for, among others, the following purposes: 

 

  • Evaluate the impacts of these infrastructures on biodiversity (genetic, specific, functional and ecosystemic), with all taxonomic groups potentially concerned; 
  • Determine how the design of the infrastructure can impact on different facets of biodiversity; 
  • Evaluate how the management of the infrastructure and its “naturalized” part can influence these impacts; 
  • Identify and analyse the economic, socio-technical and political factors that contribute to the deployment of these infrastructures and the extent to which they take biodiversity into account.
