  2. 21. Surface energy exchange and land-atmosphere interactions of Arctic and subarctic tundra ecosystems under climate change

    Author : Christian Stiegler; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface energy exchange; Arctic and subarctic tundra; climate change; permafrost; eddy covariance; snow cover; micrometeorology;

    Abstract : The surface energy balance determines the functioning of any ecosystem on the Earth but is still poorly understood in Arctic and subarctic biomes. In a dynamic system, such as the Earth’s climate, any change in its characteristics modifies the exchange of energy, water, and greenhouse gases between the surface and the atmosphere. READ MORE

  4. 22. Living in times of climate change. Weather-related understandings, realities, and entanglements among Guarani people in the Bolivian Chaco

    Author : Vanesa Martin Galan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; weather; climate change; entanglement; ontology; coloniality; hybridity; modernity; non-human agents; agriculture; partial connection; radical difference; Guarani people; Bolivia;

    Abstract : Since climate change became an issue of public concern worldwide, the weather has attracted increasing attention and come to stand as a common ground for joint action between Indigenous people and governmental and non-governmental actors in the Bolivian Chaco. Despite becoming a common cause, the management of weather through mitigation and adaptation strategies takes place under ontological differences and power imbalances. READ MORE

  5. 23. How will climate change working life?

    Author : Karin Lundgren Kownacki; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; occupational heat stress; climate change; productivity; international standards; India;

    Abstract : Heat stress has been studied extensively. However, in the contemporary context of climate change there is a lack of information on the extent of future heat stress and its consequences, especially in occupational settings. READ MORE

  6. 24. Soil microbial responses to mild winters and seasonal change

    Author : Johanna Birgander; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi AMF ; RESPIRATION; Stable isotope; Fungal growth; PLFA; NLFA; Microbial community composition; bacterial growth; Aboveground-belowground interactions; Temperature adaptation; Climate change;

    Abstract : The aim with this thesis work was to study microorganisms response to milder winters, different seasons, and altered temperature. Winter warming treatments were established in a semi-natural temperate grassland, simulating mild winters for two years. READ MORE

  7. 25. Supporting Management of the Risk of Wind Damage in South Swedish Forestry

    Author : Erika Olofsson; Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; decision support; uncertainty; probability; wind climate; tree growth; forest management; spatial planning; topography; climate change; adaptation; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Private forest owners in southern Sweden consider wind damage to be one of the most problematic risks from an economic perspective. A potential climate change also raises the question of the possible impact of such a climate change on the risk of wind damage. READ MORE
