  2. 11. Exploring synergies – management of multifunctional agricultural landscapes

    Author : Lovisa Nilsson; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multifunctionality; ecosystem services; functional biodiversity; agri-environmental policy; CAP; agri-environmental measures;

    Abstract : AbstractHuman ingenuity and activities have resulted in erosion of ecosystems and their capacity to support the sustainable production of goods and functions that we depend on. Biodiversity i.e. READ MORE

  4. 12. The functional potential of methane producing and consuming microorganisms in a changing world : Den funktionella potentialen hos mikroorganismer som producerar och förbrukar metan i en föränderlig värld

    Author : Joel White; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Methane; Metagenomics; Peatlands; flux; carbon dioxide; chamber measurements; stable isotope analysis; Eriophorum vaginatum; Calluna vulgaris; climate change; Captured metagenomics;

    Abstract : It’s clear that human activities have heated our climate via the release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Recent changes within the earth climate are rapid, intensifying, and unprecedented. READ MORE

  5. 13. Modelling effects of climate change and forestry on weathering rates and base cation cycling in forest soils

    Author : Veronika Kronnäs; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; weathering; forest; biogeochemistry; Dynamic Modelling; ForSAFE;

    Abstract : Base cations are important in forest soils as nutrients for vegetation and protection against soil acidification. Today, base cations have been lost from soils through acidification and forest harvesting. With low levels in soils, temporary situations of deficiency could occur. READ MORE

  6. 14. Scientific methods for integrating expert knowledge in Bayesian models

    Author : Dmytro Perepolkin; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian inference; Expert judgement; Quantile-parameterized distributions; Quantile functions;

    Abstract : Generating scientific advice to environmental management involves assessments with complex models, sparse data, and challenging empirical experiments, necessitating the integration of expert judgment with data into scientific models. To integrate expert judgement, assessors might elicit judgement by experts as quantiles, find a probability distribution that matches the quantiles, and add this information to the model. READ MORE

  7. 15. Modelling carbon uptake in Nordic forest landscapes using remote sensing

    Author : Sofia Junttila; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; forest; peatland; boreal region; remote sensing; carbon exchange; gross primary production; CO2; climate change; Sentinel-2;

    Abstract : Boreal forests and peatlands store over 30% of the global terrestrial carbon in their vegetation and soil. but changing climate can compromise the current carbon stock. READ MORE
