   Abstract : Protecting the citizens is a responsibility deeply embedded in the heart of the traditional Westphalian nation-state and far beyond the initial intentions of a European Community. Despite this, the EU has rapidly developed into a key actor in civil protection policies in later years, without explicit competence and with varied support from the member states. READ MORE

3. 7. 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. 8. Can urban tree re-inventories inform future species selection? : diameter at breast height as an indicator for tree performance in Malmö municipality’s tree database

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Hannah Kit Kraynick Braegelmann; [2023]
   Keywords : DBH; ; diameter at breast height; tree inventories; tree re-inventories; urban forestry; species selection; tree management;

   Abstract : Using the inventory database of trees for Malmö municipality, Sweden, this study explored the potential of using the diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement in re-inventories, as a decision-making tool for species selection and management in urban forests. With the escalating pressures of urbanization and unpredictable climate change effects, there is an urgent need for urban forest managers to possess reliable tools that can facilitate the selection of resilient tree species capable of thriving in diverse and changing urban contexts.
