The BOREAS Project
- The Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) is a large-scale international interdisciplinary experiment in the northern boreal forests of Canada. Its goal was to improve our understanding of the boreal forests - how they interact with the atmosphere, how much CO2 they can store, and how climate change will affect them.

Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC)
- Global-change data & information analysis for the US Department of Energy (DOE). Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide & other radiatively active gases; role of the terrestrial biosphere & oceans in biogeochemical cycles of greenhouse gases; emissions of carbon dioxide; long-term climate trends; effects of elevated carbon dioxide on vegetation; vulnerability of coastal areas to rising sea level.

US Carbon Cycle Science Program
- An interagency partnership to provide critical unbiased scientific information on the fate of carbon dioxide in the environment to contribute to the ongoing public dialogue.

Fluxnet Canada
- A Canadian research network, based on eddy covariance flux measurements, that studies the effects of climate & disturbance on carbon cycling processes in forest & peatland ecosystems.

NOFRETETE: Nitrogen oxides emissions from European forest ecosystems
- A Project funded by the European Commission DG Research - V th Framework programme Programme in the thematic programme 'Energy, Environment & Sustainable Development', Key Action 2 'Global change, climate & biodiversity'
Go
United States Trace Gas Network
- The TRAGNET network is meant to achieve the following two goals: 1. Document contemporary fluxes of CO2, CH4 & N2O between regionally important ecosystems & the atmosphere & 2. Determine the factors controlling these fluxes & improve our ability to predict future fluxes in response to ecosystem & climate change.

Mystery of the Missing Carbon
- Discusses the BOREAS research program, which investigated the 'missing carbon' problem in global carbon cycle studies.

Global Carbon Project
- Scientific partnership that aims to develop a complete picture of the global carbon cycle, including both its biophysical & human dimensions together with the interactions & feedbacks between them. A project of the Earth System Science Partnership of the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP), World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), & the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP)
