  1. 6. 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
