1. 1. Changes in July albedo and its relationship with EVI over the last two decades in the Swedish alpine region

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Vera Grönvik Hende; [2023]
   Keywords : Shortwave albedo; Enhanced Vegetation Index EVI ; Alpine vegetation; Scandes; Surface albedo feedback; MODIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Vegetation in the subarctic is expected to respond to climate warming as its growth becomes less temperature limited. This has previously been recorded in the form of treeline advances and increasing shrub cover. Changes in vegetation cover may accelerate warming due to a decrease in summer albedo, in what is termed surface albedo feedback. READ MORE

3. 2. ARCTIC PLANT COMMUNITIES RISE WITH TEMPERATURE Plant functional traits as a tool to predict global climate change

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Helena Sundell; [2022-07-06]
   Keywords : Arctic warming; plant functional traits; Community Weighted Mean; vegetational changes; global climate change;

   Abstract : Global warming occurs at a rate at least three-fold in the arctic regions compared to the rest of the world. Here, plant community functional traits were assessed in response to experimental warming in three arctic areas of Fennoscandia (Latnajajure, Abisko and Kilpisjärvi). READ MORE
