1. Changes in July albedo and its relationship with EVI over the last two decades in the Swedish alpine region
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Vegetation in the subarctic is expected to respond to climate warming as its growth becomes less temperature limited. This has previously been recorded in the form of treeline advances and increasing shrub cover. Changes in vegetation cover may accelerate warming due to a decrease in summer albedo, in what is termed surface albedo feedback. READ MORE

2. The Effects of Climate Change on Zirben (Pinus cembra) Distribution in the Italian Alps
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Anthropogenic climate change has caused temperature increases all across the globe. Mountainous areas are among the most affected and are experiencing alarming rates of warming. Such rapid warming will have effects on alpine vegetation and their distribution throughout the alps.

3. Forest, Tree, and Shrub limit responses to a century of climate change in Northern Norway
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Climate changes have been observed in the Northern Hemisphere during the last century, causing a longer growing season and upslope expansion of forest, tree, and shrub limits. Here, a long-term historical perspective was used as a tool for investigating how climate change has impacted woody plants at the forest, tree, and shrub limits across the study region. READ MORE

4. THE INFLUENCE OF TUNDRA VEGETATION ON SOIL TEMPERATURES
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : The arctic has experienced more rapid global warming and is more sensitive to temperature changes compared with the rest of the world. We can already see how vegetation distributed across the arctic tundra has changed in composition, height, and abundance. READ MORE

5. Importance of Snow in Alpine Plant Ecology : And Remote Sensing Applications in Species Modeling
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Global warming, with pronounced increases toward the poles and high latitudes, has impacts on alpine vegetation. If snow patterns change in response to global warming, snow parameters are predictors of interest in alpine plant species distribution and traits modeling because snow is known to strongly control the local growing conditions of alpine plants.
