Climate change and impacts in the urban systems
Urban systems are not only major drivers of climate change, but also impact hotspots. The processes of global warming and urban population growth make our urban agglomerations vulnerable to chain reactions triggered by ...
Climate change and male animal reproduction: effects of heat stress and season
L’objectiu general d’aquesta tesi doctoral ha estat estudiar l’impacte que pot tenir el canvi climàtic, provocant situacions d’estrès tèrmic, i l’estacionalitat climàtica sobre la reproducció animal, en concret sobre la ...
Climate change and Mediterranean ecosystems: plant and soil responses to UV radiation and water availability before and after a perturbation
Taking into account the expected changes in solar UV levels, precipitation and fire regime in the Mediterranean basin, the main goal of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of UV radiation (UV-A and UV-B) and diminished ...
Climate change and precipitation trends in the northern Mediterranean
According to climate projections for the end of the twenty-first century, regional responses to global warming include a strong and widespread drying over the northern Mediterranean, particularly intense in summer. Many ...
Climate change and the expansion of thermophilic fishes in the northwestern Mediterranean: the importance of studying condition and reproduction to understand the increase in their abundance
A direct consequence of sea warming in the Mediterranean is a increase in the abundance of thermo-tolerant species fish species such as Sphyraena viridensis, Pomadasys incisus, Pomatomus saltatrix and Trachinotus ovatus. ...
Climate change impact on the photodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils
Les avaluacions del Panell Intergovernamental del Canvi Climàtic han evidenciat que l’augment d’emissions amb efecte hivernacle ha causat que el clima canviï més ràpidament. Encara que s’espera un impacte a escala global, ...
Climate change impacts on the mediterranean forest and shrubland, their ecophysiology, demography and community composition
Les alteracions antropogèniques han provocat ràpids canvis climàtics amb un gran impacte sobre els ecosistemes mediterranis, provocant canvis en els processos fisiològics vegetals (per exemple la fotosíntesi), població ...
Climate change impacts on winter tourism in the Pyrenees and adaptation strategies
Climate Change has become no longer a conjecture but an objective reality. The increase of the global average temperature, the seas level rise or the increase in the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events are ...
Climate Change Indicators. A Local Perspective
Aquesta tesi contribueix a el creixent camp d'investigació de l'canvi climàtic i el coneixement indígena i local (ILK) responent a la crida per a l'exploració de dades terrestres que ajudin a omplir els buits de coneixement ...
Climate change, migration, and corrective duties: Thinking beyond sinking islands
The philosophical discussion on climate change and migration to date has focused mainly on the case ‘sinking islands’. Though critical, this case represents only a small fraction of the empirical and normative landscape ...
Climate networks constructed by using information-theoretic measures and ordinal time-series analysis
This Thesis is devoted to the construction of global climate networks (CNs) built from time series -surface air temperature anomalies (SAT)- using nonlinear analysis. Several information theory measures have been used ...
Climate variability predictions for the wind energy industry: a climate services perspective
In order to mitigate the climate change effects, the world is undergoing an energy transition from polluting sources towards renewable energies. This transition is turning the electricity system more dependent on atmospheric ...
Climate-induced changes in headwater streams: Effects of warming and drought on resource-consumer trophic interactions
Changes in temperature and precipitation due to climate change are expected to increase stream water temperature and reduce their discharge. Consequently, more streams might face temporality, experiencing flow intermittency ...
Clinical and environmental Aspergillus: morphological and molecular characterization, phylogeny, and antifungal susceptibility profile
Aspergillus és un dels gèneres de Ascomycetes més comuns i ubics, habitant una gran diversitat de substrats. L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi va ser contribuir al millor coneixement d'aquest gènere, explorant la diversitat ...
