Abstract Changes in the efficiency of light interception and in the costs for light harvesting
along the light gradients from the top of the plant canopy to the bottom are the major means …

Tundra ecosystems are global belowground sinks for atmospheric CO2. Ongoing warming‐
induced encroachment by shrubs and trees risks turning this sink into a CO2 source …

Biomass and leaf area index (LAI) are important variables in many ecological and
environmental applications. In this study, the suitability of visible to shortwave infrared …

The subarctic environment of northernmost Sweden has changed over the past century,
particularly elements of climate and cryosphere. This paper presents a unique geo …

Birch forests cover large areas of the northern Fennoscandia and the mountain birch (Betula
pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) often forming the altitudinal and Arctic forest and tree lines …

The paper investigates the combined use of real-time hydrological monitoring, publicly
available meteorological data and hydrological and geotechnical numerical modelling, to …

Environmental gradients are caused by gradual changes in abiotic factors, which affect
species abundances and distributions, and are important for the spatial distribution of …

Climate change and outdated vegetation maps are among the reasons for renewed interest
in mapping sensitive alpine and subalpine vegetation. Satellite data combined with …

Aboveground biomass (AGB) of shrubs and low-statured trees constitutes a substantial
portion of the total carbon pool in temperate forest ecosystems, contributing much to local …

The aim of this study is to generate a quality-controlled sub-kilometer dataset of the fraction
of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) across Scandinavia from satellite …
