1. 21. Responses of boreal forest understory plant communities to climate and forestry

   Författare :Ditte Marie Christiansen; Kristoffer Hylander; Johan Ehrlén; Signe Normand; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boreal forests; bryophytes; climate; climate change; community temperature index; demography; forest management; microclimate; plants; species interactions; species distributions; time-lags; transplant experiment; understory communities; Ecology and Evolution; ekologi och evolution;

   Sammanfattning : A warming climate is altering species distributions and community compositions. To understand and predict changes in species distributions to climate change, we often use species occurrences together with large-scale regional climate data. This can be problematic for several reasons. LÄS MER

3. 22. Exploring climate impacts of timber buildings : The effects from including non-traditional aspects in life cycle impact assessment

   Författare :Diego Peñaloza; Magnus Wålinder; Matty Janssen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment LCA ; timber buildings; biobased building materials; low-energy buildings; forest products; climate impact assessment; biogenic emissions; carbon storage; timing of emissions; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : There is an urgency within the building sector to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. An increased proportion of biobased building materials in construction is a potential measure to reduce these emissions. LÄS MER

4. 23. Causal links of past climate change in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 climate models

   Författare :Thanh Le; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; solar forcing; volcanic forcing; greenhouse gases radiative forcing; Granger causality; near-surface air temperature; ENSO; IOD; CMIP5; North Atlantic;

   Sammanfattning : The climate system is influenced by various external forcings (e.g. volcanic forcing, solar forcing and change of greenhouse gas concentrations) and its own internal climate variability. LÄS MER

5. 24. Carbon exchange in boreal ecosystems: upscaling and the impacts of natural disturbances

   Författare :Julia Kelly; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon fluxes; CH4; Climate change; CO2; Drought; Ecosystem respiration; Forest; Peatland; Remote sensing; Temperature; Thermal camera; UAV; Wildfire;

   Sammanfattning : Boreal forests and peatlands are globally significant carbon stores but they are threatened by rising air temperatures and changes in precipitation regimes and the frequency of natural disturbances. Predicting how the boreal biome will respond to climate change depends on being able to accurately model and upscale the greenhouse gas fluxes between these ecosystems and the atmosphere. LÄS MER

7. 25. Climate Related Impacts on a Lake : From Physics to Biology

   Författare :Thorsten Blenckner; Rita Adrian; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Ecosystem processes; climate; phytoplankton; NAO; SCI; ice cover; modeling; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; limnologi; Limnology;

   Sammanfattning : Climatic variation and change affect the dynamics of organisms and ecosystem processes. This thesis examines phytoplankton as a target variable to trace climatic impacts on Lake Erken (Sweden) with special emphasis on the spring bloom. LÄS MER
