  1. 1. Modelling the effects of substituting pollinators in decline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Axel Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : pollinators; plants; mutualism; competition; equilibrium populations; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : While pollination is essential for many plant species and ecosystem functions, pollinator populations worldwide are declining. This decline is largely due to abiotic changes in the environment: climate change and other anthropogenic impacts, such as pesticides and land use change. READ MORE

  3. 2. Stakeholder and Economic Valuation Dynamics of Land-based Biological Carbon Sequestration Activity

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Cecep Hermawan; [2023]
    Keywords : economic valuation; restoration; stakeholders; terrestrial ecosystem; coastal ecosystem; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : With a deforestation rate of 599,232 ha/year, the Indonesian government is pressured to bootstrap its ecosystem restoration process. The pressure also receives by the private sector to accelerate the process of their decarbonization, with the 2050 net-zero target as the main goal. READ MORE

  4. 3. The promised land for bioenergy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Hedda Thomson Ek; [2022]
    Keywords : Agriculture; agricultural residuals; bioeconomy; bioenergy; energy security; farmers; intermediate crops; iLUC; willingness; land use change; motivation and action; Sweden; Scania; production methods; underutilized lands; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Bioenergy derived from agricultural biomass has potential to phase out fossil energy sources while strengthening the bioeconomy. To estimate the agricultural sector's potential to meet the rising demand for renewable energy sources, it is crucial to understand what motivate farmers to sustainably increasing agricultural feedstock production.

  5. 4. The role of nature-based solutions for ecological urban planning in the sustainable city : How is the Green Space Factor system presented in urban planning strategies?

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)

    Author : Ellen Lilja; [2021]
    Keywords : sustainable urban development; climate change adaptation; green space factor; critical urban theory; environmental policy localization;

    Abstract : The thesis covers the role of the Green Space Factor (GSF) system as a nature-based solution for ecological urban planning in the sustainable city. One main focus for sustainable urban development is the aspect of constructing green spaces and green buildings in order to improve land-use efficiencies and thus minimize negative environmental impacts.

  6. 5. Increasing forest mortality and its drivers: Simulating central European forests under climate change

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Marieke Scheel; [2021]
    Keywords : forest mortality; central Europe; competition; CO2; temperature; precipitation; DVM; LPJ-GUESS; simulation; reproducing data; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Increasing tree growth and mortality rates in Europe are still poorly understood and have been attributed to a variety of drivers. This study aimed to relate increasing forest mortality rates in six central European countries to climate drivers (CO2 concentration, temperature and precipitation) from 1985-2015, using a process-based vegetation model.
