  1. 1. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
    Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigating Seasonal Snow in Northern Sweden – a Multi-Layer Snow Pack Model and Observations from Abisko Scientific Research Station Provide Clues

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Anna Staffansdotter; [2017]
    Keywords : Snow characteristics; snow layer development; snow pack modelling; climate change; Abisko Scientific Research Station; Snöegenskaper; snöskiktutveckling; snöpackmodell; klimatförändringar; Abisko naturvetenskapliga station;

    Abstract : Meteorological parameters determine the physical properties of snow precipitating from the atmosphere, but snow layers also continue to develop within the snow pack after the precipitation event. New characteristics form depending on temperature fluctuations, interaction with the soil, overburden compression, rain-on-snow events and more. READ MORE

  4. 3. Object-Based Classification of Vegetation at Stordalen Mire near Abisko by using High-Resolution Aerial Imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Marco Giljum; [2014]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Object-Based Image Analysis; OBIA; Vegetation Classification; Permafrost; Arctic Peatland; Remote Sensing; Aerial Photography; Environmental Monitoring; Landscape Analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The focus of this work is to investigate and apply the remote sensing method of object-based image analysis (OBIA) for vegetation classification of a permafrost underlain peatland in sub-arctic Sweden, by using aerial imagery of high resolution. Since the northern landscapes are an important source of naturally stored CH4 and CO2, their contribution to the global carbon cycle is a focus in research about climate change and the global methane exchange.

  5. 4. Time series analysis of ground frost conditions at Abisko, sub-Arctic Sweden, 1985-2010

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Anja Schmidt; [2012]
    Keywords : marktemperatur; subarktiska Sverige; Abisko forskningstation; frost cykler; snötäcke; lufttemperatur; Ground temperatures; subarctic Sweden; Abisko research station; frost cycle; snow cover; air temperature;

    Abstract : Observed climatic change may result in modification of the ground thermal regime.The causes of shallow ground temperature variability, however, are not well documented. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of global warming on reindeerhusbandry in the Swedish subarctic : correlations across microclimatic change, subarcticvegetation cover, and reindeer foraging preferences

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Jordi Fusté Ballesteros; [2010]
    Keywords : Abisko; research; temperature; climate change; vegetation; reindeer;

    Abstract : The Abisko Scientific Research Station (ANS) is located in the far north of Sweden, in asubarctic environment inhabited mostly by the Sami people. ANS has conducted researchfor more than hundred years, with its current focus set on interdisciplinary research regardingthe effects of climate-change on the subarctic environment. READ MORE
