6. 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

7. The land carbon sink of Lithuanian forests in the light of climate change: A model approach
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). READ MORE

8. Tundra carbon cycling in relation to sea-ice decline in a warming Arctic
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : We set out to investigate whether arctic tundra acted as a sink or source of carbon dioxide (CO2) between 1980-2014 and to relate changes in the net carbon balance to Arctic sea-ice decline. We want to understand how climate change and arctic warming influence arctic carbon cycling. READ MORE

9. Testing the potential to evaluate vegetation optical depth with ecosystem water dynamics in a temperate forest
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. READ MORE

10. Expressing ecosystem model output and Swedish forestry goals with composite indictors
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of services necessary for maintaining environmental health and human well-being. Ecosystem models help inform how various management strategies respond in different regions to changing climate conditions. READ MORE
