"CarboEurope-IP aims to understand and quantify the present terrestrial carbon balance of Europe and the associated uncertainty at local, regional and continental scale. This means to determine the European carbon balance with its spatial and temporal patterns
understand the controlling processes and mechanisms of carbon cycling in European ecosystems and how these are affected by climate change and variability and human management
develop an observation system to detect changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations and ecosystem carbon stocks related to the European commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. "
