Seasonal changes and spring sensititvityTree species naturally occurring in central and northern Europe have the ability to acclimatize to seasonal changes in temperature, and can therefore tolerate very low temperatures during winter. However when trees start to deharden during spring, their sensitivity to sudden temperature backlashes increases.Effects on forest standsEven one or a few spring ba

In many of the northern ecosystems, temperature is a strongly regulating factor of vegetation activity. During the warm summer activity and productivity are high, whereas during the cooler winter the vegetation activity is lower. In semi arid Africa, however, it is water availability, not temperature, that is the main regulating factor. Monitoring the vegetation productivityDuring photosynthesis p

Terrestrial ecosystems at high latitudes will see significant climate change within coming decades. This will have significant impacts on many characteristics of natural ecosystems such as those associated with the presence/absence of permafrost.

Aquatic ecosystems now undergo some of the biggest and fastest changes of the last thousands of years. Many changes are connected to human-induced loadings of organic matter, inorganic nutrients and trace elements to inland and coastal waters. Natural stream-lake network has been significantly altered by dam constructions, ditching and water diversion for irrigation purposes. In addition, rising c

The terrestrial biota plays an important role in the regulation of atmospheric composition and climate. Surface albedo and energy partitioning are an established component of climate models. More recently, biogeochemical climate feedbacks through the terrestrial carbon cycle have become the focus of attention; a large proportion of the projected reduced global carbon sink at the end of the 21st ce

Remote sensing is the technique of observing and analyzing objects from a distance without being in direct contact with them. When studying the Earth we often use the term Earth observation, which primarily means information collected from Earth observing satellites.
