NORKLIMA-Klimaendringer og konsekvenser for Norge

Constraining total feedback of the climate system by observations and models

Assessing global warming projections on the basis of various future emission scenarios is difficult because a number of key variables in climate change are poorly quantified. In particular, the feedbacks of the climate system when greenhouse-gas concentra tions and aerosols are changing are not w...

Climate warming and insect outbreaks in sub-arctic birch forest

Population outbreaks in geometrid moths constitute the most pronounced disturbance factor in sub-arctic birch forest that sometimes leads to extensive forest death. We have recently made two discoveries that suggest that distinct, climate-change related s hifts in geometrid outbreak ranges are no...
