Climate changes throughout history, such as the Little Ice Age, are often associated with famines, crises and wars. But there are also many examples of populations and politicians having been able to use the changing conditions to their advantage, or at least maintain stability. An interdisciplinary research team has developed a new approach that focuses on societal resilience, ensuring careful handling of climate data and historical facts, which has often been lacking.

The role of soil has been largely neglected in climate models to date, but this is set to change. Scientists working with Markus Reichstein at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena are studying the climate-relevant processes that take place below ground and are developing models to describe them.

When the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere rises, the Earth not only heats up, but extreme weather events, such as lengthy droughts, heat waves, heavy rain and violent storms, may become more frequent. Whether these extreme climate events result in the release of more CO2 from terrestrial ecosystems and thus reinforce climate change has been one of the major unanswered questions in climate research. It has now been addressed by an international team of researchers working with Markus Reichstein, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena.
