1. 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 ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Patricija Marijauskaite; [2022]
   Keywords : Geography; Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Ecosystem modelling; LPJ-GUESS; Climate change; Forest sequestration; Land carbon sink; Norway spruce; Scot s pine; Silver birch; monoculture; silviculture; NPP; NBP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : 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

3. 17. Mapping wetlands in Sweden using multi-source satellite data and random forest algorithm

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Salvador Hernandez Malave; [2022]
   Keywords : physical geography and ecosystem analysis; multi-temporal; Google Earth Engine; machine learning; classification; country-wide; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : 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

4. 18. Snow-graupel collisions in clouds: a newly derived formulation for breakup of single crystals

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Victor Craig van der Brug; [2022]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Secondary Ice Production; Ice Cloud Number Concentration; Cloud Ice; Ice-Ice Collisions; Snow Crystal; Atmospheric Science Biogeochemical Cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : 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

5. 19. Three-step approach for visualizing climate adaptation strategies at municipal level in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Matilda Lundström; [2022]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; climate change; climate adaptation; sea level rise; climate communication; visualization; GIS; SCALGO; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : 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

6. 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 ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Joanna Eaton; [2022]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2A; Forest wildfires; dNBR; NDVI; dNDVI; Dendrochronology; Atmospheric science and biogeochemical cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : 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
