[REPORT SUMMARY] GIS data-base
An important part of the work developed by INGV within WorkPackage 8 was the preparation of a GIS database useful for all the specific studies of the WorkPackage. This GIS database was developed on a Mapinfo platform (vers. 6.5 for PC). A html guided tour to the results contai...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Improved regional and national level estimates of the carbon stock and stock changes of tree biomass for six European countries
The 'top-down integration' applies existing forest inventory data in their aggregated form (for example, tree species or tree species group per region in a country) for forest area, standing volume and increment. Volume estimates were expanded to total tree biomass carbon esti...

[REPORT SUMMARY] BOGCM PISCES, model runs, sediment coupling (Community sediment model: sediment composition and benthic oxygen fluxes)
During OROIS, a sediment module was implemented to the standard PISCES model. The development of the sediment module closely followed Heinze et al. (1999). The description of POC remineralisation, limited to oxide degradation in Heinze et al. (1999), was extended to sub-oxide ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Measuring genetic variation
In a context of habitat fragmentation, plant populations decrease their size and increase their degree of isolation. From a genetic point of view, genetic diversity of fragmented plant populations is likely to decrease over time. Demographic and genetic mechanisms explain such...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Frequency of aerosol particle formation in boreal forest site
Summary:
Continuous measurements (every 10 min) of submicron aerosol number size distribution shows ca 50 days per year with clearly detectable aerosol particle formation events. Almost 20% of those events will continue sufficiently long to produce particles with diameter ov...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Laboratory experiments, CaCO3
The quantification of in-situ carbonate dissolution rates relies on an accurate parameterisation of carbonate dissolution kinetics, which implies an improved knowledge of the rate constant and the solubility product. Dissolution, both it in the water column and surface sedimen...

The net ecosystem exchange of CO2 consists of several component processes, eg. above- and below-ground, auto- and heterotrophic. Understanding net ecosystem CO2 exchange under current climatic conditions and land use, and predicting net ecosystem exchange under likely future c...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Climate change effects on land use and ecosystems: UK case study
The UK case study incorporates results from the SPECIES model and downscaled SPECIES model on the potential distribution of species on a 5km x 5km grid throughout the UK for current conditions (1961-90) and for selected climate change and land use change scenarios for the year...

[REPORT SUMMARY] EURAINSAT/B 1.0 Geo scale estimates using histogram matching or IR with near-real-time SSM/I
The satellite rainfall estimation algorithm relies upon the regional calibration of co-located IR and MW observations and is based upon initial work by Kidd (1999) over the western Pacific. This work found that the calibration thresholds and rain rates varied significantly ove...
