Abstract:

Understanding the conflict potential of climate variability is critical for assessing and dealing with the societal implications of climate change. Yet, it remains poorly understood under what circumstances – and how – extreme weather events and variation in precipitation patterns affect organized violence. This dissertation suggests that the impacts of climate variability on organized violence are conditional on specific climate patterns, the sensitivity of livelihoods, and state governance. These theoretical conjectures are subjected to novel empirical tests in four individual essays. Three

Abstract:

The nitrogen cycle is one of the key macronutrient cycles that controls the distribution of life on Earth. The nitrogen cycle is composed of a series of distinct microbially mediated processes which may be affected differently with warming. Climate change is likely to affect all components of the nitrogen cycle. However, the extent to which each component will be affected and how this will alter interactions in natural systems is unknown. Here we used laboratory and field experiments to investigate the effect of warming on nitrogen cycling. We used a combination of pure cultures, in-situ measu

Abstract:

An important goal of ecological studies is to identify and explain patterns or variation in species assemblages. Ecologists have discovered that global variation in the number of species in an assemblage relates strongly to climate, area, and topographic variability in terrestrial environments. Is the same true for other characteristics of species assemblages? The focus of this thesis is to determine whether species assemblage structure, defined primarily as the body mass frequency distributions and species abundance distributions relate in convergent ways to a set of a few environmental va

Abstract:

The high altitude environments are particularly sensitive to climate change and very rapid and intense effects are affecting the Alpine cryosphere. Knowledge of the hydrological responses of high-altitude watershed is critical to manage water resources, especially in the context of current climate change, resulting in a lower percentage of solid precipitation, temporal redistribution and quantitative variations in precipitation inputs, higher temperatures, and more persistent drought conditions during the summer. Although the remaining glacial masses are still able to secure sufficient water s

Abstract:

Adaptation has increasingly come to be recognised as an urgent and necessary response to climate change. The ability of a system to carryout adaptation is dependent on its adaptive capacity. To date, the majority of research relating to adaptation has focused on the objective and material determinants of a system's capacity to adapt to severe and extreme weather impacts. Whereas the role that subjective factors, such as people's perceptions, beliefs and values play in that same process, has received comparatively less attention.

Global environmental change fundamentally affects plants and their interactions with other species, and this has profound impacts on communities and ultimately ecosystems. In order to understand the mechanisms involved, we need to elaborate on the combined effects of different global change drivers on multiple levels of plant organization, including the biochemical level (production of defence compounds), the whole organism, the population, and the plant-herbivore interaction level.

Abstract:

We studied the dynamic of nine populations of Alpine ibex ( Capra ibex ibex ) in five protected areas. We showed a strong effect of age on demographic parameters, with a marked decrease of survival after 10-12 years of age. We also found a high variability of old females' reproduction between populations. Contrary to what is expected for a highly dimorphic species like ibex, males survived as well as females except for old individuals. Winter harshness had a negative impact on survival of old individuals but not on reproduction and survival of young. We conclude that ibex have evolved a highly

Groundwater is naturally present below the ground level and is a fundamental resource which supports the activity of the surface-level ecosystems. In the semiarid region of Portugal the vegetation ecosystems have been adapted by developing root systems which enable them to access deep soil water to cope with recurring droughts. As a result of environmental changes linked to climate change, water availability in the soil is expected to decrease as consequence of temperature increment and decline in precipitation. These changes will cause a drop in the aquifer recharge and phreatic level with po

Abstract:

Climate change-induced increases in air temperature pose a substantial risk to birds inhabiting arid environments. Terrestrial endotherms, such as birds, can respond to high temperatures by moving to cooler microsites, increasing heat dissipation behaviour and/or suppressing activity. Previous studies have suggested that larger bird species may have a greater suppression of activity (e.g. foraging) than smaller species at high air temperatures. However, this body mass effect may be confounded by drinking behaviour, since different species have diverse drinking ecologies. Using four species of

Abstract:

This paper formally analyzes the role of yearly snowfall in explaining the changes in home valuations near ski resorts in the western United States. Using data on housing values for selected U.S. Census tracts, combined with detailed weather data, passenger arrival data from 10% of all commercial air traffic, and characteristics of nearby ski resorts, I find precise and consistent estimates of days of snowfall and number of available destinations by airport on housing values.
