1. A comparison of remote sensed semi-arid grassland vegetation anomalies detected using MODIS and Sentinel-3, with anomalies in ground-based eddy covariance flux measurements.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Remote sensed vegetation biophysical indicators are derived from various sensors and methods and contribute to the quantification of vegetation growth. They are used as inputs to early warning systems for crop yield estimation, thus improving crop management and food security. READ MORE

2. Improvement of the GPP estimations for Sudan using the evaporative fraction as water stress factor
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Estimation of GPP in Sudan using the evaporative fraction as water stress factor The Gross Primary Production "GPP" quantifies the amount of carbon entering an ecosystem. It is an ecosystem service since it is a source of energy for all organisms and it is estimated to reduce atmospheric CO2 in about 123 Pg C per year at the global scale. READ MORE

4. Vegetation indices, FAPAR and spatial seasonality analysis of crops in southern Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Remote sensing is an extensively used technique in ecosystem monitoring or analyzing the carbon balance on the earth surface. The most dominant part of south west Skåne is agricultural land and MODIS derived Vegetation Indexes (VIs) are able to investigate the seasonality of crop fields. READ MORE
