2. 1. The Earth : climate and anthropogenic interactions in a long time perspective

   Author : Jörgen Olofsson; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; anthropogenic; climate change; land use; biodiversity; carbon; dynamic global vegetation model; Holocene; pre-industrial; pollen; bison;

   Abstract : The Earth is a highly complex and dynamic system. Life has shaped the entire planet and evolved in response to living conditions. Ecosystems are heavily affected by climate. Rapidly changing conditions imply considerable stress on several species and ecosystems, as well as to the most dominant species on the planet. READ MORE

4. 2. Patterns of Persistence : Intergenerational mobility and Sweden's social structure 1865-2015

   Abstract : The pyrogenic particles formed from incomplete combustion of organic matter are often termed black carbon (BC) and they partake in many important biogeochemical processes. For instance, BC in water and sediment affects the solid-water partitioning of hydrophobic organic pollutants reducing their bioavailability. READ MORE
