1. 1. Future climate suitability of shade trees in cocoa agroforestry systems in West Africa and shade tree diversity’s impact on farm microclimate : A Minor Field Study

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Jonna Halonen; [2023]
   Keywords : species distribution modeling; cocoa agroforestry; shade trees; West Africa; microclimate; distributionsmodell; kakaoskogslantbruk; skuggträd; Västafrika; mikroklimat;

   Abstract : Shade trees’ implementation into cocoa agroforestry systems in tropical West Africa has proven to have a high potential in increasing farm resilience and mitigating climate change. However, no studies have yet examined the potential future climate suitability for shade trees in the region, which is important when deciding which shade trees to implement. READ MORE

3. 2. The Influence of Macrophytes on Aquatic Microclimate

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och botanik; Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning (BIG)

   Author : Julia Elliot; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : How terrestrial vegetation influences microclimate and what effects this has on associated ecosystems is well studied, but it is less known if and how aquatic macrophytes affect their microclimate. In this study I therefore aim to investigate the question of how aquatic macrophytes influence their microclimate, and how these effects in turn may affect associated aquatic organisms and ecosystems.

4. 3. Rethinking Public Squares: Athens, Berlin, Copenhagen

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Eleni Tamiolaki; [2023]
   Keywords : public; public space; public squares; urban space; urban squares; Athens; Berlin; Copenhagen; Arts and Architecture;

   Abstract : Since ancient times, public squares have played a significant role in the social and political life of towns and cities. They were designed as open spaces for public use, allowing people to meet, communicate, and demonstrate, and as centers for commercial and civic culture that reflected historical transformations.

5. 4. Fungal pigmentation responses to microclimatic variables in isolated forest patches in Northern Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Karl Soler Kinnerbäck; [2023]
   Keywords : fungal ecology; mycology; functional traits; communities; pigmentation; CIELAB; lightness; microclimate; polypores;

   Abstract : Investigating functional traits is an important tool for understanding fungal communities, yet ecological functions of fungal pigmentation remain poorly investigated. Recent studies support the thermal-melanism hypothesis for fungal color lightness in relation to macroclimate, but it remains unclear if microclimate also affects fungal pigmentation. READ MORE

6. 5. Monitoring of microclimate underneath agrivoltaic systems using IoT sensor station

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Erik Stridsman; [2023]
   Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Microclimate monitoring; IoT; Albedo measurement; Temperature measurement; Humidity measurement; Arduino;

   Abstract : Agrivoltaic systems work on the principle of combining farmland with Photovoltaic energy conversion giving the land it sits on dual purpose. Moreover, by combining solar electricity conversion and crop production additional benefits such as water saving and, in some cases even higher crop yields compared to open field conditions. READ MORE
