1. 1. Uncertainties in tropical precipitation and radiative feedbacks under climate change

   Författare :Alejandro Uribe Cortes; Thorsten Mauritsen; Frida Bender; Caroline Muller; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; radiative feedback; tropical precipitation; tropical extreme precipitation; climate modeling; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi;

   Sammanfattning : Clouds have a significant impact on climate. They contribute to controlling the planetary energy balance, and the precipitation distribution. Global Climate Models (GCMs) designed to reproduce the state of the climate system, however, have difficulties representing clouds. LÄS MER

3. 2. Climate Change sensitivity of Photosynthesis and Respiration in Tropical Trees

   Författare :Myriam Mujawamariya; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon dioxide; Climate change; Drought; Elevation gradient; Photosynthesis; Respiration; Tropical montane forest; Tropical trees; Warming;

   Sammanfattning : Tropical climate is getting warmer, with more pronounced dry periods in large areas. The productivity and climate feedbacks of future tropical forests depend on the ability of trees to acclimate their physiological processes, such as photosynthesis and leaf respiration, to these new conditions.

4. 3. Rooting for forest resilience : Implications of climate and land-use change on the tropical rainforests

   Författare :Chandrakant Singh; Ingo Fetzer; Lan Wang-Erlandsson; Ruud van der Ent; Axel Kleidon; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; forest dynamics; human influence; land-use change; rainforest tipping; remote sensing; resilience; root zone storage capacity; tropical forests; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

   Sammanfattning : Tropical rainforests in the Amazon and Congo River basins and their climate are mutually dependent. Evaporation from these forests help regulate the regional and global water cycle. Furthermore, these rainforests themselves depend on precipitation to sustain their structure and functions. LÄS MER

5. 4. Greenhouse gas emission from tropical reservoirs : Spatial and temporal dynamics

   Författare :Annika Linkhorst; Sebastian Sobek; Frédéric Guérin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; methane; carbon dioxide; climate; carbon cycle; lake; limnology; inland water;

   Sammanfattning : The emission of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from reservoirs has been estimated to make up for about 1.3% of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission. The impoundment of a river leads to the accumulation of sediment that is brought in from inflowing rivers, and the sediment organic matter is degraded to CH4 and CO2. LÄS MER

7. 5. Paleoclimate and seasonality on Sumatra during the Late Glacial and Holocene : Insights from biomarkers and climate model simulations

   Författare :Lars Petter Hällberg; Malin Kylander; Frederik Schenk; Rienk Smittenberg; David Naafs; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Holocene; Late Glacial; biomarkers; organic geochemistry; climate model; hydrogen isotopes; stable isotopes; paleoclimate; alkanes; GDGT; brGDGT; H-GDGT; bacterial community shifts; paleothermometry; precipitation reconstruction; peat; geokemi; Geochemistry;

   Sammanfattning : Deep atmospheric convection in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) is a key driver of the Hadley and Walker Circulations that modulate the Asian-Australian monsoons and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Temperature and rainfall seasonality, i.e. LÄS MER
