31. Acclimation of boreal Norway spruce to climate change: Empirical and modelling approaches
Sammanfattning : The findings of this thesis have important implications for the projections of future carbon and water fluxes for the boreal region. The observed boreal longterm acclimation responses of respiration and stomatal regulation differ from those of most temperate regions. LÄS MER
32. National Appropriateness of International Climate Policy Frameworks in India, Brazil, and South Africa
Sammanfattning : How does the international climate policy frameworks influence the domestic institutional responses to climate mitigation in emerging economies? And how, in turn, do domestic institutions and politics in emerging economies influence the fate of international climate policy frameworks? The thesis provides answers to these questions by studying domestic engagements with Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in three emerging economies – India, Brazil, and South Africa. The thesis specifically studies how these engagements were influenced by the domestic institutional context provided by national climate policy, norms, and institutional capacity in the three countries.

33. Sustainable Urban and Regional Development and Related Ecosystem Services and Water-Climate Interactions
Sammanfattning : To accommodate a growing global population while mitigating climate change, urban areas must grow while minimising environmental impacts. To achieve this, a city must be treated as a complex socio-ecological system in which many actors and subsystems act in unclear and unpredictable ways. LÄS MER
34. Climate in the eastern Mediterranean during the Holocene and beyond – A Peloponnesian perspective
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes increased knowledge about climate variability during the late Quaternary in the eastern Mediterranean. Results from a paleoclimate review reveal that regional wetter conditions from 6000 to 5400 years BP were replaced by a less wet period from 5400 to 4600 years BP and to fully arid conditions around 4600 years BP.

35. Impact of climate variability on dynamic groundwater storage in mid- to high latitude countries
Sammanfattning : Climate change will alter the hydrological cycle, potentially changing dynamic groundwater storage and increasing groundwater drought risk. Climate influences groundwater storage directly via changes in groundwater recharge, but groundwater drought responsiveness further depends on groundwater system characteristics. LÄS MER
