16. 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

17. Mapping wetlands in Sweden using multi-source satellite data and random forest algorithm
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. READ MORE

18. Snow-graupel collisions in clouds: a newly derived formulation for breakup of single crystals
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. READ MORE

19. Three-step approach for visualizing climate adaptation strategies at municipal level in Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The ongoing climate change has caused an increase in the global mean sea level, and this sea level rise is predicted to continue during the 21st century. The importance of including climate change in decision making is becoming more and more recognized and increasingly important for decisions yielding consequences on longer time scales. READ MORE

20. Evaluating forest wildfire effect on tree increment patterns for boreonemoral forests in Sweden: A pilot study using remote sensing
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) has substantially increased the global mean surface air temperature. Increases in global mean surface air temperature will lead to warmer and drier conditions, promoting more frequent, long-lasting, intense forest wildfires. READ MORE
