Abstract:

<p>Surface moisture plays an important role in thedeterioration of building surfaces. The extent and duration ofsurface moisture is generally impossible to predictfrommeteorological data and consequently direct measurement ofthis quantity is essential,e.g. using the WETCORR method. Thismethod has been developed in Scandinaviaduring the past 25years. From the beginning it was intended for measurementsofinstantaneous atmospheric corrosion rates and TOW (time ofwetness) using corrodingelectrolytic cells. Over the past 15years the method has been extended tomeasurements of surfacemoisture and TOW

Abstract:

The urban near surface atmosphere is of great concern since it affects the climate to which an increasing amount of people are immediately exposed. This study investigated the microclimate in central Stockholm in terms of the thermal conditions in the 0-2.5 m air layer and the water and heat exchange processes at different types of surfaces found within the urban environment. The main objective was to improve our understanding of the urban small-scale climate system. The urban microclimate was measured in terms of vertical air temperature profiles along a horizontal transect running through a

Abstract:

[Abstract]: The incidence of cattle heat stress is a significant production and welfare issue for the feedlot industry. It is hypothesised that the presence and physical nature of feedlots causes significant microclimatic variations compared to the external environment.In order to test this hypothesis, data was collected using a series of automatic weather stations located in the external environment surrounding two Australian feedlots. Comparison of this data with regional Bureau of Meteorology sites was undertaken to verify the quality of these ‘control’ sites. To determine the climate withi

Abstract:

Growing plants modify the microclimate within which they grow by altering their physical structure. Thus individuals affect the subsequent growth of both themselves and competing neighbours. It is important that this feedback be represented in a model of dynamic vegetation change. A flexible generalised model "Ecospace" is presented, which was designed to be applicable to all terrestrial vegetation. The model uses a three-dimensional grid of hexagonal tiles to represent space above and below ground. Each individual plant may occupy one or more tiles within the grid. Any number of individuals m

O Cerrado é o bioma brasileiro que mais perdeu área para o agronegócio em anos recentes, verificando que a expansão da fronteira agrícola sobre o Cerrado provocou a pulverização dos remanescentes em fragmentos cada vez menores, imersos em matrizes de baixa similaridade, causando uma série de impactos negativos sobre o ecossistema natural. A fragmentação de habitats é considerada uma das mais graves ameaças à conservação da biodiversidade, com consequências ecológicas variáveis, intensificadas na faixa de transição entre matriz e fragmento.

Abstract:

Long term management of lodgepole pine depends, in part, on the nutrient capital of the site. Harvesting has been shown to increase the availability of nitrogen and other nutrients for a limited period of time. This increase, or nutrient flush, following cutting has been attributed to several factors including changes in organic matter quantity and quality, soil moisture and temperature regimes, and competition for nutrients. Knowledge of the duration and the magnitude of the nutrient flush would be valuable for management decisions. A consequence of lodgepole pine clearcuts was studied for s

Spring plant phenology is often used as an indicator of a community response to climate change. Remote data and low-resolution climate models are typically used to predict phenology across a landscape; however, this tends to miss the nuances of microclimate, especially in a mountainous area with heterogeneous topography. I investigated how inter-annual variability in regional climate affects the distribution of microclimates (i.e., areas <100m2) and spring plant phenology across a 6400-hectare watershed within the Western Cascades in Oregon.

Abstract:

The extent of species' distributions, and their abundance within them, can be affected by many factors. At coarse resolutions and large spatial extents, climatic variables are often found to be important in determining the boundaries of species' ranges. However, several authors have postulated that variables such as land cover or species interactions are more important in determining where species will be found at finer resolutions within a landscape. Climatic variables are often not available at the fine resolutions necessary to test this hypothesis. In this study, I first show that topograph

Ice caves are classified as sporadic permafrost phenomena and consist of lava tubes or cave systems in which perennial ice forms. Ice within caves can be very old and can carry important information on permafrost conditions, climate changes and past climates. Until now, these systems have been investigated mainly with an experimental approach. A critical topic in ice cave studies is the understanding of how the internal environment interacts with the external and how these systems react to changes in the external conditions. In this thesis, a new numerical approach to understand ice cave micro

Abstract:

Buildings account for over 35% of the energy demand in OECD countries, making them a prime target for improvement. (EIA 2011) To help building owners reduce energy usage, ratings systems such as LEED have been developed. A prerequisite for certification is the demonstration of energy efficiency through computer modeling; however, the complex nature of building energy simulations too often leads to errors of up to 30% (Turner and Frankel 2008). One source of significant error can be the assumptions made of environmental conditions, which are often simplified to speed up simulations. To demonstr

Abstract:

Three sets of concrete blocks were cast to investigate the effects of natural exposure conditions, at the macro and microclimate scale, and field curing on the performance and durability of OPC and OPCjGGBS concretes. These are termed the Loughborough winter series, the Loughborough summer series and the Muscat summer series. Three concrete mixes were investigated in the two Loughborough series (30 and 50 MPa OPC concrete mixes and a 30 MPa OPCjGGBS concrete mix) and two in the Muscat weather series (the two 30 MPa concretes). A group of specimens were cast with each mix consisting of 600 x 50

Abstract:

With warmer springs we observe earlier Spring phenologies. Long-term trends for earlier phenologies in warmer years have been demonstrated using population mean responses against temporal, altitudinal and latitudinal gradients. Temperature driven changes in phenology are measurable in a model system such as the oak-caterpillar-blue tit and the degree of change from one trophic level to the next can be compared across the network. The majority of studies on such a system focus on population mean trends. In this study I construct a geospatial model of temperature microclimates and test if variat
