Assessing cryosphere-biosphere linkages in boreal forests with Earth Observation and modelling

Climate change induced increases in surface temperatures in the northern high-latitudes have consequences for cryosphere conditions in the boreal zone (snow cover, soil freeze-thaw and permafrost). Cryosphere changes will in turn influence the biosphere e. g. through changes in the carbon uptake and...

Description
Summary:Climate change induced increases in surface temperatures in the northern high-latitudes have consequences for cryosphere conditions in the boreal zone (snow cover, soil freeze-thaw and permafrost). Cryosphere changes will in turn influence the biosphere e. g. through changes in the carbon uptake and release by vegetation. However, the current knowledge about these interactions is insufficient for assessing the carbon balance accurately and uncertainties remain in model predictions of how the carbon cycle will respond to the changing climate.
