“Lake macroinvertebrates and the altitudinal gradient in the Pyrenees [Los macroinvertebrados lacustres y el gradiente altitudinal en los Pirineos]” is a thesis about freshwater macroinvertebrate ...
Chang, Chao-Ting (Date of defense: 2017-07-07)
The variations of ecosystem and soil respiration are mainly driven by temperature and precipitation, but the importance of temperature and precipitation could vary across temporal and spatial. At diurnal ...
Sperlich, Dominik (Date of defense: 2015-07-24)
The Mediterranean Basin is a climate-change hotspot of the world. Predicted reductions in annual precipitation, increases in mean temperature, and increases in the variability and occurrence of extreme ...
Galván Candela, Juan Diego (Date of defense: 2014-01-21)
Iberian Pinus uncinata tree-growth variability and its responses to climate are analyzed by means of dendrochonological methods from an individual- to a population-level scale across its distribution ...
