2. Implications of a dynamic vertical root distribution for modelled water and carbon fluxes across selected ecosystems : incorporating a novel rooting scheme into LPJ-GUESS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Roots play a key role in terrestrial carbon and water cycles, and therefore for the global climate system. They mediate plant evapotranspiration, influence photosynthetic processes and are responsible for atmospheric carbon transport into the pedosphere. Fine roots, in particular, are chiefly regulating water and nutrient uptake. READ MORE

3. Vegetation responses to summer- and winter warming : flower power in the Alaskan tussock tundra?
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Plants have an important role in the tundra carbon (C) cycle by storing C in primary production and thus potentially counteract the C released from thawing permafrost. Tundra vegetation is limited by nitrogen (N), which is predicted to increase with rising temperatures and increased snow depth. READ MORE
