2. 1. Hydrological aspects of the carbon balance in a boreal catchment: A model study

   Author : Alla Yurova; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cartography; pedology; geomorphology; Physical geography; boreal peatland; dissolved organic carbon; ecohydrology; model; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi;

   Abstract : AbstractThe cycling of carbon in its gaseous, solid and dissolved forms is of central importance to ecosystem science, particularly, when the natural carbon cycle has been perturbed by human activity. Mathematical models are commonly used to asses and predict global and regional patterns of terrestrial carbon exchange. READ MORE

4. 2. The role of vegetation dynamics in the control of atmospheric CO2 content

   Author : Stephen Sitch; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atmospheric CO2 content; climate change; plant functional types; terrestrial biosphere model; DGVM; vegetation dynamics; land use; land cover change; Plant ecology; Växtekologi;

   Abstract : This thesis contains a description of the Lund-Potsdam-Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ-DGVM) and its application to infer the role of vegetation dynamics on atmospheric CO2 content at different time-scales. The model combines vegetation dynamics and biogeochemistry in a modular framework. READ MORE

5. 3. Acclimation of plants to combinations of abiotic factors : connecting the lab to the field

   Author : Zsofia Réka Stangl; Vaughan Hurry; Lisa Ainsworth; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nitrogen; carbon dioxide; temperature; thermal acclimation; mycorrhiza; boreal forest; climate change; C:N balance; allocation; respiration; photosynthesis; terrestrial biosphere model;

   Abstract : Increasing atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gasses coupled to the accelerated rate of global warming puts plants and ecosystems under the strain of a rapidly changing abiotic environment. Understanding the impacts of changing global climate is a strong focus of plant science and the establishment of more resilient crop variants is an important goal for breeding programs. READ MORE

6. 4. Model analysis of ocean carbon storage and transport across climate states

   Author : Malin Ödalen; Jonas Nycander; Johan Nilsson; Kevin I. C. Oliver; Nathaelle Bouttes-Mauhourat; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oceanography; Climate; Climate model; Carbon cycle; Paleoclimate; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

   Abstract : The ocean carbon cycle plays a fundamental role in the Earth’s climate system, on decadal to multi-millennial timescales. Of the carbon held in the ocean, the atmosphere, and the terrestrial biosphere combined, more than 90% resides in the ocean. Carbon enters the surface ocean through air-sea gas exchange and from terrestrial sources. READ MORE

7. 5. Modeling Carbon and Water Fluxes in European Terrestrial Ecosystems

   Author : Pablo Morales; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; Physical geography; water fluxes; climate change; kartografi; geomorfologi; klimatologi; marklära; carbon fluxes; regional climate models; vegetation dynamics; ecosystem modeling;

   Abstract : The controlling mechanisms and feedbacks between climate, the carbon and water cycling and vegetation in European ecosystems have attracted much attention in recent years but they are still not sufficiently understood. A better understanding of them is necessary to predict how they will be affected by climate change. READ MORE
