1. 1. Riparian plant biodiversity and community composition of ditches and straightened streams : identifying key environmental drivers in a boreal forest setting

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

   Author : Rasmus Staaf; [2024]
   Keywords : artificial waterways; riparian zone; novel ecosystems; ; forestry; ditch network maintenance; species richness; hill-diversity; drainage ditches; coarse woody debris; ditch cleaning; ecology;

   Abstract : Modified ecosystems are typically seen as degraded and having no ecological value. In many cases, the modification of the ecosystem was done more than 100 years ago and may have had time to recover and become a refugia for species that were once more common in the landscape.

3. 2. Meadowscape : Bring health to ecological systems through actions in the agricultural landscape

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Arkitekthögskolan vid Umeå universitet

   Author : Anna Östlund; [2023]
   Keywords : Actor-network theory; landscape ecology; agriculture; artifacts; patterns;

   Abstract : The physical landscape is a patchwork of different physical and immaterial structures and networks built up through time, where nature and culture cooperate in processes of shaping the landscape. Since the first settlers in Sweden the grass meadow has taken a central part in the agricultural practices, but today little of this landscape remains. READ MORE

4. 3. Biodiversity Monitoring Using Machine Learning for Animal Detection and Tracking

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Qian Zhou; [2023]
   Keywords : Small Target Detection; Target Tracking; YOLOv5; DeepSORT; Attention Mechanism; Loss Function; Feature Extraction and Fusion Network; Detektering Av små sål; sålspårning; YOLOv5; DeepSORT; uppmärksamhetsmekanism; förlustfunktion; fusionsnätverk;

   Abstract : As an important indicator of biodiversity and ecological environment in a region, the number and distribution of animals has been given more and more attention by agencies such as nature reserves, wetland parks, and animal protection supervision departments. To protect biodiversity, we need to be able to detect and track the movement of animals to understand which animals are visiting the space. READ MORE

5. 4. Adversarial Machine (Deep) Learning-basedRobustification in 5G Networks

   Keywords : 5G; Network Slicing; Adversarial Machine Learning; Machine Learning; Deep Learning;

   Abstract :  A significant development in wireless communication and artificial intelligence has been made possible by the combination of 5G networks with deep learning methods. This paper explores the complex interactions between these areas, concentrating on the dangers that adversarial attacks represent in the context of 5G network slicing. READ MORE

6. 5. Consequences of alternative forest management in riparian buffer zones : a GIS analysis

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

   Author : Elijah Ourth; [2023]
   Keywords : Riparian buffer zones; Continuous cover forestry; CCF; Hyggesfritt; Geographical information system; Ditch network maintenance; Ditch; Stream; Natural channel;

   Abstract : With increasing pressure from policymakers and the general public to conduct alternative forest management throughout the European Union (EU), Sweden needs to find ways to best prioritize the implementation of this alternative management. Alternative management is a term used to describe alternative management methods to clear-cut rotation forestry and can include silvicultural methods such as continuous cover forestry, management increasing proportion tree diversity and presence of broadleaves, and extended rotation lengths.
