Climate Change in the Upper Atmosphere
Studies of climate change traditionally focus on long-term changes taking place in the troposphere. This is understandable, as this is the part of the atmosphere that most directly affects life on the surface. However, long-term trends higher in the atmosphere can have important consequences as well. The middle and upper atmosphere consist of the stratosphere (~15-50 km), the mesosphere (50-90...
متن کاملLand-atmosphere coupling and European climate change
We provide an overview on recent results investigating the role of land-atmosphere coupling, and in particular of soil moisture-temperature coupling, for summer climate variability and climate change in Europe. Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations are expected to enhance the interannual variability of summer climate in Europe and other mid-latitude regions, potentially causing more frequent...
متن کاملBehavioral dimensions of climate change: drivers, responses, barriers, and interventions
This overview describes the anthropogenic drivers of global climate change, reviews the behavioral and psychological responses to its impacts (including barriers to behavior change), considers behavior-focused intervention strategies, and suggests future directions for research. In doing so, it demonstrates why and how behavioral science is crucial for confronting the complex challenges posed b...
متن کاملBlack Carbon: The Dark Horse of Climate Change Drivers
A 172 Black Carbon The Dark Horse of Climate Change Drivers For decades, efforts to slow global warming have mostly aimed to limit heat-trapping emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). Now scientists are pointing to a different class of warming agents they say also must be targeted to keep global temperatures in check. Dubbed “shortlived climate forcings” (SLCFs), these other emissions— namely, blac...
متن کاملClimate Change-induced Drivers of Plant Communities in Subarctic Peatlands
Climate change in the (Sub)Arctic is expected to be more extreme and rapid compared to other regions in the world (IPCC 2007). Tundra and peatlands are the main ecosystem components at these northern latitudes, which are largely dominated by lichens and bryophytes fulfilling important ecosystems functions (see General Introduction, Longton 1988; Rydin & Jeglum 2006). As both biodiversity and ve...
