  3. 2. Hyperspectral and multispectral satellite data analysis of nitrogen in grazed and ungrazed tundra in Långfjället, Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emma Dahlstedt; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : Hyperspectral imaging; Imaging spectroscopy; Nitrogen; Reindeer; Herbivory; Tundra; Grazing;

    Abstract : Reindeer are a keystone species in the circumpolar north, where they hold great cultural and ecological importance. Continued climate change threatens the long-term sustainability of reindeer husbandry. Reindeer can affect the tundra landscape, influencing the soil nutrient cycling, including the soil nitrogen availability. READ MORE

  4. 3. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Julia Edje; [2023]
    Keywords : vegetation recovery; MODIS; HRT; EVI; fire; burn severity; land cover; climate zone; California;

    Abstract : Human-caused forest fires have increased in magnitude and frequency, affecting global vegetation and requiring a re-evaluation of fire regimes. Changing fire regimes have led to reduced burned areas in fire- dependent ecosystems and increased areas in fire-independent ecosystems, resulting in changes in land cover and posing a threat to native plant communities.

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Forest, Tree, and Shrub limit responses to a century of climate change in Northern Norway

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Ella Björsbo; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate warming; growing season length; forest limit; tree limit; shrub limit;

    Abstract : Climate changes have been observed in the Northern Hemisphere during the last century, causing a longer growing season and upslope expansion of forest, tree, and shrub limits. Here, a long-term historical perspective was used as a tool for investigating how climate change has impacted woody plants at the forest, tree, and shrub limits across the study region. READ MORE
