1. The Problem with Errors : Solution Search in Platform Development
Abstract : This dissertation is concerned with problem-solving in platform development. A problem isconceived of as an obstacle that needs to be overcome in order to reach a desired outcome,whereas a solution is denoted by the set of activities required to reach such an outcome. READ MORE

2. Functional Traits in Sphagnum
Abstract : Peat mosses (Sphagnum) are ecosystem engineers that largely govern carbon sequestration in northern hemisphere peatlands. I investigated functional traits in Sphagnum species and addressed the questions: (I) Are growth, photosynthesis and decomposition and the trade-offs between these traits related to habitat or phylogeny?, (II) Which are the determinants of decomposition and are there trade-offs between metabolites that affect decomposition?, (III) How do macro-climate and local environment determine growth in Sphagnum across the Holarctic?, (IV) How does N2 fixation vary among different species and habitats?, (V) How do species from different microtopographic niches avoid or tolerate desiccation, and are leaf and structural traits adaptations to growth high above the water table?Photosynthetic rate and decomposition in laboratory conditions (innate growth and decay resistance) were related to growth and decomposition in their natural habitats.

3. Nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics across an elevational gradient in a Swedish subarctic tundra
Abstract : Rising temperatures associated with global climate change are likely to drive major shifts in plant and soil properties as well as plant-soil linkages that govern key ecosystem processes in subarctic tundra. However, the tundra landscape is not homogenous, but instead consists of a mosaic of vegetation types which differ greatly in vegetation characteristics and soil fertility. READ MORE

4. Digital Product Innovation : Building Generative Capability through Architectural Frames
Abstract : Over the last decades we have witnessed a profound digitalization of tangible products. While this shift offers great opportunities, it also exposes product developing industries to significant challenges. READ MORE

5. Storage, landscape partitioning and lability of soil organic matter in permafrost terrain
Abstract : Recent estimates indicate that soils in the northern circumpolar permafrost region store substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). This reservoir has accumulated over 10-100.000 years and is often preserved in a relatively undecomposed state because frozen and often water-logged conditions prevented microbial degradation.
