6. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.

7. 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

8. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. READ MORE
