From roots to canopy: Unraveling the influence of species diversity on tree water relations under warmer and drier climates
The worsening of drought events with rising air temperature alters tree water relations causing severe hydraulic impairments and widespread forest mortality. Mixing tree species with contrasting hydraulic traits could reduce forest vulnerability to extreme ...
EPFL2024Homogeneous Environmental Selection Structures the Bacterial Communities of Benthic Biofilms in Proglacial Floodplain Streams
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Jade Brandani, Stylianos Fodelianakis
Streams draining proglacial floodplains harbor benthic biofilms comprised of diverse microbial communities. These high-mountain ecosystems are rapidly changing with climate warming, and it is therefore critical to better understand the mechanisms underlyin ...
AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY2023River ecosystem metabolism and carbon biogeochemistry in a changing world
Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luis Gómez Gener
River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle remains limited, which makes it difficult to predict how global change may al ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Disentangling the effects of climate change and reoligotrophication on primary production in a large lake
Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Shubham Krishna, Emile Barbe
Climate change and reduction in nutrient loads have significant effects on primary production and phytoplankton growth dynamics. Since in the last few decades in many regions, nutrients in lakes were reduced simultaneously as the climate changed. Yet, it r ...
SPRINGER BASEL AG2023Wind, Hail, and Climate Extremes: Modelling and Attribution Studies for Environmental Data
Ophélia Mireille Anna Miralles
This thesis presents work at the junction of statistics and climate science. We first provide methodology for use by climate scientists when performing fast event attribution using extreme value theory, and then describe two interdisciplinary projects in c ...
EPFL2023Regimes of primary production and their drivers in Alpine streams
Tom Ian Battin, Amber Joy Ulseth, Marta Boix Canadell, Mélanie Clémençon
- Primary production is a fundamental ecosystem process that influences nutrient and carbon cycling, and trophic structure in streams. The magnitude and timing of gross primary production (GPP) are typically controlled by hydrology, light, nutrient availa ...
Characterization of bacterial communities in Lake Geneva by comparing genetic and physiological methods
Over the last century, the level of atmospheric CO2 has increased to the highest concentrations on Earth within the past 800'000 years. Current predictions anticipate that the effects of greenhouse gases will lead to a rise in air temperature ranging betwe ...
2020Species conservation in the face of global environmental changes: surface-based modelling of geo-environmental data to identify vulnerable populations
Human activities are resulting in many land-use changes, particularly due to urbanisation and intensification of agricultural practices. Because of these changes, in addition to climate change, many species are facing habitat degradation. In order to avoid ...
EPFL2020Climate change now detectable from any single day of weather at global scale
For generations, climate scientists have educated the public that 'weather is not climate', and climate change has been framed as the change in the distribution of weather that slowly emerges from large variability over decades(1-7). However, weather when ...
2020Model-based data analysis of the effect of winter mixing on primary production in a lake under reoligotrophication
Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Shubham Krishna
Nutrient loading, in combination with climate change are important drivers of primary productivity in lakes. Understanding and forecasting future changes in primary production (PP) in response to local and global forcing are major challenges for developing ...
