  2. 6. 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

  4. 7. Modeling nutrient cycling and sustainable forest growth in a changing world

    Author : Patrik Wallman; LUCSUS; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; nutrients; sustainability; ForSAFE; Chemical technology and engineering; forestry technology; forestry; Silviculture; system dynamics; forest growth models; dynamic modeling; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; skogsbruk; skogsteknik; Skogsvetenskap;

    Abstract : It took 70-80 years to realize the width of the impact of industrialization on the forest ecosystems since a forest ecosystem is a "slow system" as seen from a human perspective. An anticipated future climate change and increasing carbon dioxide and ozone levels will change the conditions even more with time and the widely used statistical forest growth models will not be applicable anymore.

  5. 8. Mapping and integration of schema representations of component specefications

    Author : Guy Davies; Love Ekenberg; Hamid Fujita; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datavetenskap; specification; first order logic; verification; service integration; conceptual modeling; conflict; shema dynamics; Datavetenskap; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Specification for process oriented applications tends to use languages that suffer from infinite, intractable or unpredictably irregular state spaces that thwart exhaustive searches by verification heuristics. However, conceptual schemas based on FOL, offer techniques for both integrating and verifying specifications in finite spaces. READ MORE

  6. 9. Towards a Scenario-based Spatial Dynamic Modeling for Predicting Urban Land Use Change : Planning Tools and Comparative Analysis

    Author : Zipan Cai; Vladimir Cvetkovic; Fredrik Gröndahl; Brian Deal; Stan Geertman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; urbanization; planning support system; spatial dynamic model; urban land use change; spatial analysis; human-land interaction; socioeconomics; ecological systems; urban amenities; environmental impact assessment; what-if; decision-making; urbanisering; planeringsstödsystem; rumslig dynamisk modell; förändring av stadsmarkanvändning; rumslig analys; mänsklig-land interaktion; socioekonomi; ekologiska system; urbana bekvämligheter; miljökonsekvensbeskrivning; vad-om; beslutsfattande; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : As global urbanization progresses, cities worldwide are growing in size, which leads to many economic, environmental, and management challenges. Recent advancements in spatial data analysis and algorithmic geography have also led to the development of various urban model-based planning support systems (PSS) for urban planning. READ MORE

  7. 10. Natural and social dimensions of forest carbon accounting

    Author : Wilhelm Dubber; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Forest carbon fluxes; REDD ; boreal forest; LPJ-GUESS; BIOME-BGC; remote sensing;

    Abstract : Global forests store large amounts of carbon both in living biomass and in the soil. The ability of forests to counteract climate change by acting as carbon sinks have been recognized in global climate politics, such as the 2015 Paris agreement which calls for national commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
