1. 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

2. Evaluating vegetation carbon storage by primary forests in Sweden using LPJ-GUESS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Over the past 200 years, the structure of forests in Sweden has changed drastically, with forestry becoming the dominant land use. This has led to the loss of primary forests, which has major impacts on different ecosystem services, including carbon storage. READ MORE

3. Evaluation of the LPJ-GUESS crop model under ambient and elevated CO2 concentrations.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : In the future atmospheric CO2 concentrations might exceed 550 ppm according to the RCP8.5 scenario by mid-century from our current 410 ppm, while our world population is projected to surpass the 9.7 billion threshold within the same time span. This challenge leads to the raising of questions addressing future food security. READ MORE

4. Evaluation of estate level forest management strategies in terms of ecosystem services and biodiversity aspects
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Ecosystem services from forests provide society with a multitude of benefits. However, current research shows that in Swedish forests aspects of ecosystem services have a status ranging from “moderate” to “inadequate”. READ MORE

5. Snow insulation effects across the Arctic : evaluating a revised snow module in LPJ-GUESS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). READ MORE
