1. Forest growth under future climate change in the context of bioenergy – case studies of combined heat and power plants in Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. READ MORE

2. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

3. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. READ MORE

4. Analysis of simulated functional diversity in tropical forests: Differences between cultivated and naturally grown secondary forests in Cambodia
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Accelerated deforestation represents a major global environmental concern. Over the last decades Cambodia has experienced a drastic decrease in forest cover and measures to halt deforestation have not been as effective as planned. READ MORE

5. Improving a Background Model for Tracking and Classification of Objects in LiDAR 3D Point Clouds
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTHAbstract : This thesis studied methods of improving a background model for a data processing pipeline of LiDAR point clouds. For this, two main approaches were evaluated. The first was to implement and compare three different models for detecting ground in a point cloud. These were based on more classical modeling approaches. READ MORE
