  1. 1. Hyperspectral and multispectral satellite data analysis of nitrogen in grazed and ungrazed tundra in Långfjället, Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emma Dahlstedt; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : Hyperspectral imaging; Imaging spectroscopy; Nitrogen; Reindeer; Herbivory; Tundra; Grazing;

    Abstract : Reindeer are a keystone species in the circumpolar north, where they hold great cultural and ecological importance. Continued climate change threatens the long-term sustainability of reindeer husbandry. Reindeer can affect the tundra landscape, influencing the soil nutrient cycling, including the soil nitrogen availability. READ MORE

  3. 2. How important are water sources to pastoralist movement in times of climate change? : A modelling approach.

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Max Louis Mischke; [2023]
    Keywords : Precipitation; Predictive Modelling; Mobility; Camp selection; Protected Area; Mongolia;

    Abstract : Livestock grazing is an important part for the livelihood of a large part of the world’s population. While in some areas of the world water accessibility is often taken for granted, in arid regions this can be a limited resource. READ MORE

  4. 3. Ecosystem services from woody vegetation in East African rangelands

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

    Author : Anna Linnéa Elisabeth Swärd; [2023]
    Keywords : dryland ecosystems; rangelands; rangelands; woody vegetation; restoration; Karamoja; West Pokot; pastoralists; agro-pastoralists; East Africa;

    Abstract : Drylands cover nearly half of the Earth's land surface and are dominated by croplands and rangelands. Dryland ecosystems worldwide are affected by land degradation. Increased population pressure, climate change and unsustainable land use threaten essential ecosystem services and adversely impact people’s livelihoods and well-being. READ MORE

  5. 4. REINDEER GRAZING IN A NORTHERN BOREAL FOREST : Seasonal and reindeer-induced changes in nutrient availability and soil temperature

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Agnes Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : nutrient availability; soil temperature; reindeer grazing; seasonal nutrient cycling; boreal forest;

    Abstract : Soil nutrient availability is a key component to understanding the boreal ecosystems, as it directly relates to plant productivity and ecosystem diversity. There is however little known about how the nutrient availability changes seasonally in the boreal forest. READ MORE

  6. 5. A comparison of remote sensed semi-arid grassland vegetation anomalies detected using MODIS and Sentinel-3, with anomalies in ground-based eddy covariance flux measurements.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Jason Craig Joubert; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Anomaly Detection; Remote Sensing; fAPAR; GDMP; GPP; MODIS; Sentinel-3; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensed vegetation biophysical indicators are derived from various sensors and methods and contribute to the quantification of vegetation growth. They are used as inputs to early warning systems for crop yield estimation, thus improving crop management and food security. READ MORE
