1. Changes in July albedo and its relationship with EVI over the last two decades in the Swedish alpine region
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. The Effects of Climate Change on Zirben (Pinus cembra) Distribution in the Italian Alps
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Anthropogenic climate change has caused temperature increases all across the globe. Mountainous areas are among the most affected and are experiencing alarming rates of warming. Such rapid warming will have effects on alpine vegetation and their distribution throughout the alps.

3. Forest, Tree, and Shrub limit responses to a century of climate change in Northern Norway
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
4. THE INFLUENCE OF TUNDRA VEGETATION ON SOIL TEMPERATURES
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : The arctic has experienced more rapid global warming and is more sensitive to temperature changes compared with the rest of the world. We can already see how vegetation distributed across the arctic tundra has changed in composition, height, and abundance. LÄS MER
5. Importance of Snow in Alpine Plant Ecology : And Remote Sensing Applications in Species Modeling
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiSammanfattning : Global warming, with pronounced increases toward the poles and high latitudes, has impacts on alpine vegetation. If snow patterns change in response to global warming, snow parameters are predictors of interest in alpine plant species distribution and traits modeling because snow is known to strongly control the local growing conditions of alpine plants.
