21. Global Changes and European Terrestrial Ecosystems
Sammanfattning : Global environmental changes are topics of important societal concern and current scientific interest. These changes are driven by many different forcing and feedbacks occurring at various time and geographic scales and are largely influencing the various Earth systems. LÄS MER
22. The Role of Vegetation-Climate Feedbacks in Regional Earth System Dynamics
Sammanfattning : The hypothesis of this thesis is that climate models should take structural vegetation changes that operate on interannual to centennial time scales into account in order to simulate climate change in a more realistic manner. To evaluate this hypothesis, a regional Earth System Model (ESM) has been developed, validated and applied over Europe. LÄS MER
23. Food security in a changing climate : The role of cropland intensification and land acquisitions across Africa
Sammanfattning : Food security is one of the world’s greatest challenges. The current food system shows an entanglement across the globe which means that local farmers reliant on subsistence agriculture no longer operate in isolation of larger-scale processes within the global economy or the changing biophysical system of the planet.

24. The role of the hydrological cycle in forest ecosystems : flow path, nutrient cycling and water-carbon interaction
Sammanfattning : Forest ecosystems, covering over a third of land on the Earth, play a significant role in the global hydrological cycle, and influence soil erosion and climate change. However, the distribution, movements, quality of water, and hydrological processes in forested ecosystems are not well understood yet. LÄS MER
