progetto ATLANTECO
Programme: H2020 – Research and Innovation Actions
Project title: Atlantic Ecosystems Assessment, Forecasting & Sustainability
Acronym: ATLANTECO
Duration: 01/09/2020 – 30/08/2024
Total Budget: € 10.925.660
ISMAR budget: € 253.000

Summary:
overall objective of AtlantECO is to assess and predict changes in the status and dynamics of Atlantic ecosystems at regional and basin scales to improve the sustainability of ecosystem services and enhance Blue Growth for Atlantic communities. CNR will be coordinating the Work Package 7, aimed to identify and quantify the variability and the dominant patterns of ecosystem stressors, as well as forcing of short- and long-term ecosystem changes. The analysis will combine novel high-resolution observation-based data products and model output. It distinguishes between drivers (e.g. wind forcing, currents, mixed layer dynamics, nutrients, biotic interactions) of planktonic ecosystem dynamics and stressors, here defined as environmental variables and anthropogenic processes for which projected changes are likely to have a negative impact on ecosystem dynamics (e.g. oxygen, pH, saturation state with respect to calcium carbonate, nutrient limitation). CNR will also be involved in WP 6, focused on the Multi-scale connectivity in Atlantic ecosystems.
