  1. 1. Trends in mountain birch seed abundance and its relation to temperature and moth abundance: a ten-year study from Swedish Lapland

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Frida Gustafsson; [2023-02-09]
    Keywords : Betula pubescens; climate change; seed production; Epirrita autumnata; Operophtera brumata; subarctic ecology; folivory; larval abundance;

    Abstract : Boreal forest is the world’s largest terrestrial biome. Being one of the most ubiquitous and coldtolerant tree species in Sweden, the mountain birch forms a unique deciduous treeline and marks the forest-tundra ecotone. READ MORE

  3. 2. Intermediate-mass black hole binary as an origin of super-massive black holes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Isabelle Signe Maj Maria Thord; [2023]
    Keywords : Intermediate-mass black holes; binary; merger; hardening; encounters; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Galactic nuclei contain super-massive black holes (SMBHs), nuclear stellar clusters (NSCs), or both. In the NSC, intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are likely to reside and form highly eccentric binaries. Over time, the orbit of a binary could harden via interaction with surrounding low-mass stars. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effect of tree age on masting signal in tree-ring chronologies of beech in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Jeppe Van Der Lee; [2023]
    Keywords : beech; masting; masting signal; proxy; tree-ring chronologies; age; dominance; social position; southern Sweden; climate change; tree growth; regeneration success;

    Abstract : Masting is a synchronous and highly variable production of seeds in tree species. Masting may reflect a reproduction strategy to cope with seed predation. In beech, temperature is the cue controlling annual variability in seeding. Masting behaviour in beech typically begins around the age of 40 years. READ MORE

  5. 4. Disseminating Nature-based Thinking across Local and Global Networks : the case study of Turin (IT), CONEXUS (H2020, grant agreement n. 867564)

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)

    Author : Mariangela Pastorello; [2022]
    Keywords : Nature-based solutions; climate change adaptation strategies; urban planning; transformative learning; participatory communication; living labs; NBS projects; participatory governance; citizen science; European programmes;

    Abstract : Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are currently considered among the most effective tools available to city administrations and urban planners to tackle the negative effects of climate change.This umbrella concept comprises a large set of different low-impact technical solutions that are inspired/supported, or copied, from nature.

  6. 5. Change in stability and characteristics of different sunflower press cake mixtures during fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Sarah Nachemson Ekwall; [2022]
    Keywords : Sunflower; press cake; fermentation; Lactoplantibacillus plantarum; food technology; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Food's impact on the climate is getting more awareness, leading to an interest in finding possible solutions. One such is to use waste products to create new products. Sunflower press cake (SFPC) is a waste product from sunflower oil production with great potential because of its high protein content. READ MORE
