  • Biogeochemical Transformations in the Baltic Sea

    Observations Through Carbon Dioxide Glasses

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides a comprehensive review of the biogeochemistry in the Baltic Sea. It is based on the fact that biogeochemical processes that are relevant for the ecological state of the Baltic Sea (and other sea areas), are all in some way related to the production and mineralization of organic matter (biomass) and thus are associated with the consumption or release of CO2. The significant ... Read more

  • Recarbonization of the Biosphere

    Ecosystems and the Global Carbon Cycle

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Human activities are significantly modifying the natural global carbon (C) cycles, and concomitantly influence climate, ecosystems, and state and function of the Earth system. Ever increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) are added to the atmosphere by fossil fuel combustion but the biosphere is a potential C sink. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of C cycling in the biosphere is crucial for ... Read more

  • Ecosystem Services and Carbon Sequestration in the Biosphere

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Ecological functions and human wellbeing depend on ecosystem services. Among the ecosystem services are provisional (food, feed, fuel, fiber), regulating (carbon sequestration, waste recycling, water cleansing), cultural (aesthetic, recreational, spiritual), and supporting services (soil formation, photosynthesis, nutrient cycling). Many relationships of various degree exist among ecosystem ... Read more

  • Formal Methods for Software Engineering

    Languages, Methods, Application Domains

    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    Software programs are formal entities with precise meanings independent of their programmers, so the transition from ideas to programs necessarily involves a formalisation at some point.The first part of this graduate-level introduction to formal methods develops an understanding of what constitutes formal methods and what their place is in Software Engineering. It also introduces logics as ... Read more
