Predicting climate-driven changes in phenology and their effects on populations using evolutionary game theo

We develop eco-evolutionary models and life-history optimisation models to study adaptive phenology and their effects on ecological interactions and populations. Our work guides the interpretation of changing phenology patterns and enhances the possibility to predict the ecological consequences of climate changes.

Analyses of climate response and phenological mismatch using data from herbarium specimens

Aims to analyse climate response in flowering time and phenological mismatch using records from herbarium specimens. Phenological data have emerged as effective tools for studying the impact of climate change on demographic processes. Of the biological responses to climate change detected to date, changes in phenological events during the spring such as onset of flowering are among the most sensit

Research on imperative questions of our time

addressing our society´s need for knowledge about the dynamics between biodiversity and ecosystem services in a rapidly changing world To generate cutting-edge research increasing the ability of societies to reach the UN Sustainability Development Goals, BECC currently focuses on three grand challenges arising from the combined consequences of climate change and land-use on biodiversity, ecosystem

Carbon Cycle & Climate Change – 4C (foresee)

One major challenge is to reduce the currently high uncertainty about how the carbon cycle responds to anthropogenic and biophysical drivers, including long-term effects of slow-responding processes of vegetation and soils. The carbon cycle dynamically couples the biosphere, oceans and atmosphere, and links societal and biophysical dimensions of the Earth system. A Grand Challenge is to reduce wid

Ecosystem Services under Global Change

A Grand Challenge is to integrate private and public values of ecosystem services into environmental policies and management, while accounting for the projected impacts of climate, land-use and other drivers of change. Climate, environmental and socio-economic change may negatively impact ecosystems and their services. But it may also provide opportunities such as increased agricultural and silvic

Biodiversity under Global Change

Climate change threatens biodiversity directly, but also indirectly through changes in land-use caused by attempts to mitigate or adapt to climate change. This calls for effective biodiversity conservation strategies on different scales. The direct and indirect consequences of climate change may have compounding effects on biodiversity, such as habitat loss that limits species range shifts. A Gran

Spring Workshop 2017 - presentations and reflections

On 18-19 April BECC held it's spring workshop in Lund, Sweden. The meeting was coorganized with the MERGE research project. The overarching theme of the workshop was: Scenarios – a unifying concept for climate change, impact and policy science Scenarios of human and biophysical change form an almost ubiquitous backdrop to global change studies and assessments, linking climate change to its anthrop
