Stability of spatial patterns in water chemistry across temperate ecoregions

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

Human activity has polluted freshwater ecosystems across the planet, harming biodiversity, human health, and the economy. Improving water quality depends on identifying pollutant sources in river networks, but pollutant concentrations fluctuate in time. Co ...

Frost hardening and dehardening potential in temperate trees from winter to budburst

Amarante Vitra

We investigated how deciduous trees can adjust their freezing resistance in response totemperature during the progress of the ecodormancy phase, from midwinter to bud burst. We regularly sampled twigs of four different temperate deciduous tree species from ...

Asymmetric effects of cooler and warmer winters on beech phenology last beyond spring

Alexandre Buttler, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Constant Signarbieux, María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer

In temperate trees, the timings of plant growth onset and cessation affect biogeochemical cycles, water, and energy balance. Currently, phenological studies largely focus on specific phenophases and on their responses to warming. How differently spring phe ...

Carbon fate in a large temperate human-impacted river system: Focus on benthic dynamics

Nicolas Thomas Georges Escoffier

Fluvial networks play an important role in regional and global carbon (C) budgets. The Seine River, from the Paris urban area to the entrance of its estuary (220km), is studied here as an example of a large human-impacted river system subject to temperate ...

Subalpine Pasture-Woodlands in a Changing Climate : the Role of Land Use Type in Ecosystem Resistance to Simulated Climate Change

Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov

Climate change in temperate mountain systems and associated increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation are expected to have strong implications for vegetation productivity, species diversity and carbon turnover in subalpine grasslands. Little is ...

The mid-Holocene vegetation of the Mediterranean region and southern Europe, and comparison with the present day

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins

Aim To contribute to the intense debate surrounding the relative influence of climate and humans on Mediterranean-region land cover over the past 6000 years, we assess the Holocene biogeography and vegetation history of southern Europe by means of an exten ...

N-15 immobilization in forest soil: a sterilization experiment coupled with (15)CPMAS NMR spectroscopy

Claire Guenat, Isabelle Morier Jaquet

In temperate forests, soils are the main sink for atmospheric N deposition. The main processes proposed for N retention are microbial and abiotic immobilization in soil organic matter. The relative importance of these processes as well as the kind of resul ...

Modélisation mathématique et simulation numérique des phénomènes dynamiques et thermiques apparaissant dans un glacier

Pierre Kirner

In this work, two problems linked to glacier modeling are investigated. We propose an optimisation method for studying the flow of the ice and we present a numerical study about glacier thermal phenomena. In the first chapter of this thesis, we expose the ...

Retention of atmospherically deposited nitrogen in soil : field and laboratory experiments using 15N isotope and 15N CPMAS NMR spectroscopy

Isabelle Morier Jaquet

Since a few decades, the balance of the nitrogen (N) cycle has been deeply disturbed by human activies. The global impact of these activities on the N cycle can be described as a doubling of the transfer from the vast and unreactive atmospheric pool to bio ...
