16. Priming of carbon and nitrogen mineralization in forest soils
Sammanfattning : Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) contributes significantly to the global carbon (C) cycle and climate feedbacks. SOM decomposition depends on soil microbial activities, and these activities are driven by the availability of C and other nutrients. LÄS MER
17. The Role of Carbon-Nitrogen Interactions for Terrestrial Ecosystem Dynamics under Global Change - a modelling perspective
Sammanfattning : The nature of future climate change will depend on anthropogenic emissions of CO2, as well as climate- and CO2-mediated feedbacks through carbon (C) cycling in both terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. Terrestrial ecosystems remove presently about 25% of the anthropogenic CO2 fossil-fuel and land-use change emissions, but to attribute which mechanisms cause this uptake, and the key regions where it occurs, is a challenging task.

18. Ecosystems in the Anthropocene: the role of cropland management for carbon and nitrogen cycle processes
Sammanfattning : Through deforestation and conversion of natural ecosystems to croplands and pastures, have humans released vast amounts of carbon (C) dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Roughly one third of the cumulative anthropogenic emissions until today stem from these practices, the remainder being mostly due to fossil fuel combustion. LÄS MER
19. Processes controlling carbon fluxes in the soil-vegetation-atmosphere system
Sammanfattning : Increasing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere have a direct impact on global warming and climate change. The ability of ecosystems to sequester CO2 is therefore of great importance. The Boreal forest contains one of the world’s largest carbon stocks after having acted as a net sink of CO2 for thousands of years. LÄS MER
20. Dynamical Analysis of Chemical Activity of Sterically Encumbered Lewis acid/base Pairs
Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis is about the dynamics analysis of chemical reactions involving a stoichiometric mixture of sterically hindered Lewis base (LB) and Lewis acid (LA) – the so-called frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). The tool for dynamical description of chemical reactions is the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations together with the calculation of minimum energy paths (MEPs) on the potential energy surfaces (PESs).
