2021Julia Mildorfová Leventon from CzechGlobe participated in the Report by the Cambridge Sustainability Commission on Scaling Behaviour Change
On 13 April 2021, a report by the Cambridge Sustainability Commission on Scaling Behaviour Change was published. It provides recommendations for tackling the climate crisis. Professor Julia Mildorfová Leventon from CzechGlobe was also a member of the Commission.
The report calls on policy makers to focus on the biggest polluters in the UK, start the transition to more sustainable behavior and provide affordable low-carbon alternatives for low-income households.
Kurt Christian Kersebaum has been appointed Honorary Professor at Georg August University in Göttingen.
Professor Kersebaum works at the Department of Crop Sciences, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Georg August University in Göttingen, and at the same time at the Department of Climate Change Impacts on Agroecosystems in CzechGlobe. His professional focus is modeling of agroecosystems. He deals with the interaction of processes in the atmosphere-plant-soil system and with the simulation of the impacts of management and boundary ecological conditions on crop yields and the environment.

2021Data from CzechGlobe ecosystem stations helped to clarify the relationship between temperature and respiration of ecosystems
Respiration of ecosystems is a major component of the global carbon cycle. Respiration is strongly dependent on air and soil temperature and determines whether terrestrial ecosystems will be a carbon sink or carbon source. A study, whose results were published by the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, by an international team of scientists from 27 institutions around the world including the Global Change Research Institute CAS – CzechGlobe, focused on describing the respiration of ecosystems in a global context.
The results revealed the thresholds of the global relationship of ecosystem respiration to air and soil temperature and confirmed that the respiration of ecosystems in cold climate zones depends significantly more on temperature than in warm (tropical) zones, where respiration of ecosystems depends more on water and nutrient availability.

As of 1 February 2021, Global Change Research Institute CAS announces the 2nd internal call for project proposals, which will apply for funding through the CzeGGA internal grant program, in accordance with the implementation of the HRS4R Project Action Plan.
The grant program is intended for CzechGlobe researchers who, at the time of announcing the program, are in the PhD student position and at the same time in the 1st to 4th year of PhD studies or in the post-doc position within 5-year period since defending their PhD thesis
