Incorporating non-stomatal limitation improves the performance of leaf and canopy models at high vapour pressure deficit
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Vapour pressure deficit (D) is projected to increase in the future as temperature rises. In response to increased D, stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (A) are reduced, which may result in significant reductions ...
Hot-Moments of Soil CO2 Efflux in a Water-Limited Grassland
(MDPI, 2018)
The metabolic activity of water-limited ecosystems is strongly linked to the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses that can trigger disproportionately high (i.e., hot-moments) ecosystem CO2 fluxes. We analyzed over ...
Habitat fragmentation is linked to cascading effects on soil functioning and CO2 emissions in Mediterranean holm-oak-forests
(PeerJ, 2018)
We studied key mechanisms and drivers of soil functioning by analyzing soil respiration and enzymatic activity in Mediterranean holm oak forest fragments with different influence of the agricultural matrix. For this, ...
Valuing deaths or years of life lost? Economic benefits of avoided mortality from early heat warning systems
(Springer, 2018)
The study aims to explore the main drivers influencing the economic appraisal of heat warning systems by integrating epidemiological modelling and benefit-cost analysis. To shed insights on heat wave mortality valuation, ...
Unravelling Antarctica’s past through the stratigraphy of a deep ice core: an image-analysis study of the EPICA-DML line-scan images
(Elsevier, 2020)
Polar ice research has undergone great progress in the last six decades. One of its recent technological achievements has been the development of new techniques for digital image recording and analysis of ice-core stratigraphy ...
An update of IPCC climate reference regions for subcontinental analysis of climate model data: definition and aggregated datasets
(Earth System Science Data, 2020)
Several sets of reference regions have been used in the literature for the regional synthesis of observed and modelled climate and climate change information. A popular example is the series of reference regions used in ...
Slip-band distributions and microstructural fading memory beneath the firn ice transition of polar ice sheets
(Elsevier, 2018)
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is a continental ice mass with circa 23 million gigatons of ice, which represent roughly 67 % of world's freshwater supply. This colossal mass of ice is by no means static, as the old ice slowly ...
Physical analysis of an Antarctic ice core-towards an integration of micro-and macrodynamics of polar ice
(Royal Society, 2017)
Microstructures from deep ice cores reflect the dynamic conditions of the drill location as well as the thermodynamic history of the drill site and catchment area in great detail. Ice core parameters (crystal lattice-preferred ...
Mind the map? Mapping the academic, citizen and professional stakeholder views on buildings and heating behaviour in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)
The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. The main use of energy by households is for heating. Consumers heating behaviour results from the ...
Accounting for erroneous model structures in biokinetic process models
(Elsevier, 2020)
In engineering practice, model-based design requires not only a good process-based model, but also a good description of stochastic disturbances and measurement errors to learn credible parameter values from observations. ...
