7. A remote-sensing approach to studying drought resistance in Swedish old-growth and production forests
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. READ MORE
