  1. 6. Ecosystem services from woody vegetation in East African rangelands

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Anna Linnéa Elisabeth Swärd; [2023]
    Keywords : dryland ecosystems; rangelands; rangelands; woody vegetation; restoration; Karamoja; West Pokot; pastoralists; agro-pastoralists; East Africa;

    Abstract : Drylands cover nearly half of the Earth's land surface and are dominated by croplands and rangelands. Dryland ecosystems worldwide are affected by land degradation. Increased population pressure, climate change and unsustainable land use threaten essential ecosystem services and adversely impact people’s livelihoods and well-being. READ MORE

  3. 7. LFA support in a changing climate : the interaction between the LFA support and drought periods on the use of agricultural land in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Ella Jennersjö; [2023]
    Keywords : CAP; LFA; climate change; drought; agricultural land use;

    Abstract : With climate change follows an expectation of more extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and change in seasonal shifts. How climate variability might impact Swedish agriculture and interact with existing policy aiming at keeping agricultural land in production is not well understood. READ MORE

  4. 8. Analysis of Rainfall-runoff processes at different scales in two mountainous, Arctic catchments in northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : June Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Arctic hydrology; Catchment response parameters; Water height recession analysis; Permafrost presence; Glacier presence;

    Abstract : The hydrological regime in Arctic catchments is being altered as an effect of climate change. To be able to project future changes in Arctic hydrology and hydrogeology, the mechanisms and drivers affecting runoff generation needs to be understood. READ MORE

  5. 9. Soil Carbon Stocks in Old Growth Forest : Drivers of variability in soil organic carbon stocks in old growth boreal forests

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Elis Ingvarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : old growth forest; boreal; soil organic carbon stocks; climate gradient;

    Abstract : Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in climate change by regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sweden’s forest management has led to a decrease in old growth forests. This change in land use can affect SOC levels in these forests. READ MORE

  6. 10. Exploring the Factors Influencing the Degree of Adherence to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures Recommendations in Climate Reporting : Evidence from Swedish Financial and Real Estate Companies

    University essay from KTH/Fastighetsföretagande och finansiella system
