1. Soil moisture conditions control nutrient accumulation, carbon storage and tree growth in boreal forest landscapes
Abstract : Forest and soil properties change across landscapes due to the complex interactions between various environmental factors. In many landscapes, topography exerts a major influence on the variation in soil moisture conditions, which in turn largely affects soil properties and processes. READ MORE

2. Road disasters? Modeling and assessment of Swedish roads within crucial climate conditions
Abstract : An efficient maintenance of roads to ensure high accessibility and durability of the transport capacity requires an understanding of how the hydrological response depends on both the road and the landscape characteristics. New methods and data were used to identify and explain interaction between roads and surrounding environment and their influence on hydrologic responses both in watershed scale and road-section scale.

3. Temporal Characteristics of Boreal Forest Radar Measurements
Abstract : Radar observations of forests are sensitive to seasonal changes, meteorological variables and variations in soil and tree water content. These phenomena cause temporal variations in radar measurements, limiting the accuracy of tree height and biomass estimates using radar data. READ MORE

4. GIS-based decision support systems to minimise soil impacts in logging operations
Abstract : Mechanised logging operations can leave negative impacts, like ruts, on forest soils. To avoid this, forestry planners and machine operators need decision support systems that can estimate soil trafficability and help to minimise soil impacts. READ MORE

5. New methods and applications for interferometric GNSS reflectometry
Abstract : The GNSS reflectometry technique has been proven to be usable for measuring several environmental properties, such as soil moisture, snow depth, vegetation, and sea level. As numerous GNSS installations are already installed around the world for geodetic purposes, the technique opens up a large data set for new analyses, complementing other environmental measurement campaigns.
