  3. 7. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  4. 8. The effect of life history and weather on onset of flowering and length of flowering period of agricultural weeds

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Amanda Karpaty Wickbom; [2023]
    Keywords : global warming; agricultural weeds; first flowering; flowering phenology;

    Abstract : With a warming climate and the usage of monocultures in food production it is possible we may face more issues concerning food insecurity in the future as pollinators struggle to find food in agricultural landscapes. Therefore, it is of value to know whether common agricultural weeds are important sources of food for pollinators. READ MORE

  5. 9. The effect of management strategies on carbon uptake of highway ancillary areas in Northern Germany

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maura Karmann; [2023]
    Keywords : InVEST- model; Highway ancillary areas; carbon pool estimations; management factors; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Carbon storage capacity estimations of terrestrial vegetation are necessary to understand the limit of possible carbon emissions. General approximations, of a landscapes carbon pool capacity, can be performed using the InVEST-model. READ MORE
