SUMMARY:Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics under Climate Change - From ecosystem p
 rocesses to global carbon budgets
DESCRIPTION:Contact: cerina.rydalv@mgeo.lu.se\n\nThe four talks together ex
 plore how terrestrial ecosystems regulate greenhouse gas fluxes under clim
 ate change\, from local processes to global budgets. They combine high‑r
 esolution measurements from peatlands and wetlands\, ecosystem and Earth s
 ystem modelling\, Earth observation\, and biodiversity research to examine
  how hydrology\, temperature\, vegetation\, and functional diversity shape
  carbon dynamics\, ecosystem resilience\, and our ability to quantify and 
 project the global carbon cycle.Online attendance via Zoom&nbsp\;LU Zoom m
 eeting: https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/67824980532Meeting ID: 678 2498 0532Welcom
 e to listen to the first presentation by Professor Mana Gharun!Drivers of 
 northern peatland CO2 fluxes revisited: interacting water level-temperatur
 e dependencyPristine peatlands act as natural carbon sinks\, but disturban
 ce — mostly anthropogenic drainage — turns them into CO2 sources\, res
 ponsible for 2–5% of annual greenhouse gas emissions globally. Complex i
 nteractions between vegetation\, soil\, climate\, and hydrology produce hi
 ghly variable CO2 budgets on different types of peatlands and between year
 s. This talk is about a synthesis of high resolution gas flux measurements
  across northern peatlands and the new patterns emerge if we consider the 
 interacting effect of fluctuating temperature and groundwater level on CO2
  fluxes.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Read more about Professor Mana Gharun - uni-muenster
