Ecophysiology of Polar Sea Ice Microorganisms in a Changing World
(2015-10-05)
Earth’s oceans are predominantly cold, with nearly 90% of their volume having temperatures below 5 °C. Microorganisms commonly referred to as psychrophiles have adapted to the temperatures of these cold waters. The most ...
From Sea to Society - Climate Change, Microbial Community Interactions and Assessing Climate Risk on Society
(2017-11-11)
Unicellular organisms, microalgae and bacteria, less than one millimeter in size make the
world go round. Phytoplankton and cyanobacteria, for example, plays an inevitable role
contributing 50-85% to the world’s oxygen ...
Tree stomatal regulation and water use in a changing climate - From tropical to boreal ecosystems
(2015-11-12)
Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) and temperature have the
potential to alter stomatal behavior and tree water use, which has implications for forest hydrology
and climate. Many models ...
Migration in anadromous brown trout
(2016-02-16)
This thesis investigates the anadromous migration of brown trout (Salmo trutta) with the overall aim to improve stock management within the region. Several field studies were conducted in different streams and coastal areas ...
Acclimation of boreal Norway spruce to climate change: Empirical and modelling approaches
(2019-09-04)
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 ...
Winter Road Conditions and Traffic Accidents in Sweden and UK - Present and Future Climate Scenarios
(2010-02-04)
This thesis investigates the distribution of slippery roads in Sweden and the UK for the present climate and how this may be affected by climate change for the rest of the century. It also addresses future scenarios for ...
