    Abstract : Our forests are a natural resource which is needed for many purposes. Their importance and different values are expressed in the Swedish legislation, where production and environmental goals are set as equal. To many it is not sufficient, there has been a debate regarding how forests are managed and the practice of clear-cutting for decades. READ MORE

  3. 2. The political ecology of wildfires, at the intersection of climate change and landscape - A case study of rural Tuscany, Italy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Lauren Chastain; [2023]
    Keywords : wildfire; landscape mosaic; political ecology; Tuscany; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Wildfires are a climate change indicator whose increasing activity poses a threat to biodiversity and to ecosystem and human wellbeing. In the Mediterranean region, examination of the foundational drivers of intensifying wildfire regimes is necessary for the identification of sustainable wildfire mitigation measures. READ MORE

  4. 3. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Julia Edje; [2023]
    Keywords : vegetation recovery; MODIS; HRT; EVI; fire; burn severity; land cover; climate zone; California;

    Abstract : Human-caused forest fires have increased in magnitude and frequency, affecting global vegetation and requiring a re-evaluation of fire regimes. Changing fire regimes have led to reduced burned areas in fire- dependent ecosystems and increased areas in fire-independent ecosystems, resulting in changes in land cover and posing a threat to native plant communities.

  6. 5. Reconstructing Past Climate by Using XRF and Loss of Ignition on Loess from Adventdalen, Svalbard : Rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat genom attanvända XRF analys och antändningsförlust på lössavlagringar från Adventdalen, Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Albin Andreasson; Noa Lind; [2023]
    Keywords : Svalbard; loess soil; XRF; weathering; climate change;

    Abstract : By analyzing the texture, composition and chemical composition of loess soils, the reconstruction ofpast climate regimes is enabled, which can improve our understanding of current and future climatechange. Properties such as grain size and composition, mineralogy, organic matter and chemicalcomposition can provide information about which environmental factors were present during thedeposition of the sediment, which can lead to a detailed picture of the climate history of a site.
