*</sup>Torbern Tagesson is a PhD student at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University. His main area of interest is investigating carbon cycling in boreal, temperate, and arctic environments by remote sensing and mechanistic modeling. His address: Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University, Sölvegatan 12, SE-223 62 Sweden. torbern.tagesson@nateko.lu.se
^**Benjamin Smith is an associate professor at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University. His research is primarily concerned with terrestrial ecosystem functioning and responses to global environmental change, with a particular focus on the role of population and community processes in ecosystem dynamics. His address: Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University, Sölvegatan 12, SE-223 62 Sweden. ben.smith@nateko.lu.se
^***Anders Löfgren has a PhD in Plant Ecology from Stockholm University and is currently working with terrestrial ecosystem descriptions for the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Cooperation. His address: Ivar Vidfamnes g. 29, Hägersten, SE-126 57 Sweden. ecoanalytica@gmail.com
^****Anja Rammig is a postdoctoral researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Her research focuses on the impact of disturbances and extreme events on ecosystems and the regeneration of ecosystems after disturbances and extreme events, from the physiological level to site- and landscape-scale. Her address: Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Telegraphenberg A 31, 14473 Potsdam, Germany. rammig@pik-potsdam.de
^*****Lars Eklundh is an associate professor at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University. His main research interests are in vegetation remote sensing, primarily for carbon modeling (northern biomes) and environmental change studies (African biomes). His address: Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University, Sölvegatan 12, SE-223 62 Sweden. lars.eklundh@nateko.lu.se
^******Anders Lindroth is a professor at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University. His main research interests are interactions between the atmosphere and the land surface and particularly the exchanges of heat and mass in the soil-plant-atmosphere system, mainly in forested ecosystems.
