Carbon Stubaital - Climate extremes and land-use change: effects on ecosystem processes and services | |
Description: | Klimaextreme, insbesondere Dürreereignisse und Hitzewellen, haben einen signifikanten Einfluss auf ökosystemare Stoffkreisläufe und damit verbundene Ökosystemleistungen. Es wird erwartet, dass in den kommenden Jahrzehnten die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Auftretens von extremer Dürre und deren Intensität beträchtlich zunimmt. Dies kann zu einem Überschreiten von kritischen Schwellenwerten führen, bei denen Ökosystemfunktionen eingeschränkt werden und Folgeeffekte auftreten können, die bislang nur unzureichend verstanden werden. |

EOI ÖAW Carbon Stubaital - Climate extremes and land-use change: effects on ecosystem processes and services | |
Description: | Extreme climatic events, in particular droughts and heatwaves, have significant impacts on ecosystem carbon and water cycles and a range of related ecosystem services. It is expected that in the coming decades the return intervals and severities of extreme droughts will increase substantially and may result in the passing of thresholds of ecosystem functioning, potentially causing legacy effects, which are so far poorly understood. Observational evidence suggests that different land cover types (forest, grassland) are differently influenced by extreme drought, but there is a lack of knowledge whether and how future, increasingly severe climate extremes will affect their concurrent and lagged responses, as well as land-use decisions determining future shifts in land cover. |
