The working group aims to study the role of the biosphere in mediating carbon, water and energy exchanges between the atmosphere and the land surface, and the climate-biosphere feedbacks that arise from those interactions.

Specific topics include the links between climate change, natural variability and extreme events and vegetation dynamics, with a focus on the carbon cycle, changes in disturbance regimes and ecosystem resilience under climate change and the influence of land-use and management on the terrestrial biosphere.

By combining observation-based data with data-driven and process-based modeling, we aim to reduce uncertainties in key components of the Earth System, particularly the feedbacks between climate and the carbon-cycle and better constrain the contribution of land ecosystems for climate change mitigation.
