Overview

Gitta Lasslop is a researcher affiliated with the Max Planck Society in Germany, specializing in environmental science with a focus on global and planetary change. Their research work spans several subfields including global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, ecology, atmospheric science, and safety, risk, reliability, and quality.

Their scholarly contributions primarily address topics such as fire effects on ecosystems, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, rangeland and wildlife management, climate variability and models, and tropical and extratropical cyclones research.

Among recent publications, key papers include:

  • "Global and Regional Trends and Drivers of Fire Under Climate Change" (2022) published in Reviews of Geophysics
  • "Quantitative assessment of fire and vegetation properties in simulations with fire-enabled vegetation models from the Fire Model Intercomparison Project" (2020) published in Geoscientific Model Development
  • "Global ecosystems and fire: Multi-model assessment of fire-induced tree-cover and carbon storage reduction" (2020) published in Global Change Biology
  • "Scenario setup and forcing data for impact model evaluation and impact attribution within the third round of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP3a)" (2024) published in Geoscientific Model Development
  • "Land use intensification increasingly drives the spatiotemporal patterns of the global human appropriation of net primary production in the last century" (2021) published in Global Change Biology

Lasslop frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Matthew Forrest, Thomas Hickler, Chantelle Burton, Stephen Sitch, and Stijn Hantson. Their work has been published in various scientific venues, notably Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Geoscientific Model Development, Global Change Biology, Reviews of Geophysics, and Nature Climate Change.

Their body of work reflects a consistent engagement with fire dynamics within ecosystems, modeling of vegetation and fire interactions, and the broader environmental impacts of land use changes and climate variability. This multidisciplinary approach integrates ecological, atmospheric, and environmental factors to analyze ecosystem processes and changes.
