New paper alert!!! From my FORMAS project, we estimate the surface albedo along a wildfire and forest management chronosequence. These disturbance types have a very effect on albedo development through time. Hats off to lead author Eirik Naesset Ramtvedt. 👇👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Greater increase in surface albedo following clear-cutting than wildfire in pine dominated northern Swedish boreal forests
