  1. 1. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maja Holm; [2024]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem science; soil organic carbon; soil sampling; perennial crops; carbon sequestration; carbon farming; Kernza™; soil organic carbon stock; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tobias Bowley; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

  4. 3. Real Time Navigation Algorithms for LEO Small Satellites using COTS GNSS

    University essay from KTH/Lantmäteri – fastighetsvetenskap och geodesi

    Author : Nathan Groisne; [2023]
    Keywords : PNT; Small Satellite; COTS; GNSS; Navigation; ACS; PNT; små satelliter; COTS; GNSS; navigering; ACS;

    Abstract : Many satellites in LEO use a GNSS-based navigation system, taking advantage of the GNSS constellations in MEO to enhance navigation capabilities. The thesis work focused on developing the software enabling GNSS-based navigation for Hemeria's future small satellites operating in LEO. READ MORE

  5. 4. Fysiologiska effekter vid stående och liggande immobilisering av asiatiska och afrikanska elefanter : praktisk utvärdering och litteraturstudie

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Tina Jansson; [2023]
    Keywords : afrikansk elefant; alfa2-adrenoceptoragonist; asiatisk elefant; fysiologi; immobilisering; opioid; sedering; xylazin;

    Abstract : Elefanten är världens nu största landlevande däggdjur och alla tre arter som finns är listade som hotade av olika grad. Att immobilisera vilda elefanter är en del av det artbevarande arbetet. Även elefanter i djurparker och så kallade arbetselefanter kan behöva immobiliseras, till exempel för vård eller transporter.

  6. 5. Changes in July albedo and its relationship with EVI over the last two decades in the Swedish alpine region

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Vera Grönvik Hende; [2023]
    Keywords : Shortwave albedo; Enhanced Vegetation Index EVI ; Alpine vegetation; Scandes; Surface albedo feedback; MODIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Vegetation in the subarctic is expected to respond to climate warming as its growth becomes less temperature limited. This has previously been recorded in the form of treeline advances and increasing shrub cover. Changes in vegetation cover may accelerate warming due to a decrease in summer albedo, in what is termed surface albedo feedback. READ MORE
