  1. 1. Wetland restoration on Öland : a short-term evaluation of vascular plant community composition after topsoil removal and reinstated grazing

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Marta Holmlund; [2023]
    Keywords : wetland restoration; vegetation; biodiversity; topsoil removal; Ellenberg indicator values;

    Abstract : Wetlands are recognized as important types of ecosystems, inhabiting rich biodiversity and performing multiple ecosystem services. However, many have been lost because of anthropogenic activities and a majority of the remaining wetland habitats are in bad conditions, displaying both loss of functionality and biodiversity.

  3. 2. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Nicole Scholte Lubberink; [2023]
    Keywords : fragmentation; anthropogenic deforestation; camera traps; occupancy modelling; detection probability;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic deforestation is a major threat to forest environments, as it leads to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many species suffer from these consequences due to reduced resource availability or connectivity. Forests in Madagascar have drastically been reduced in the past few centuries. READ MORE

    Abstract : The war in Ukraine in 2022 has caused environmental damages on different scales which come with their own challenges. One of the factors that can cause environmental damage is vegetation fire. READ MORE

  5. 4. Elastic hyperspectral lidar for detecting coherent backscatter from insects

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

    Author : Lauro Müller; [2022]
    Keywords : Nanosopy; Thin film physics; Hyperspectral; Lidar; Super continuum; Insects; Coherent scattering; Infrared Spectroscopy; Hyperspectral Imaging; Biophotonics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Insects play a major role in the ecosystem and are an important factor for biodiversity. Using laser remote sensing to distinguish and monitor the millions of insects in-situ, holds large potential to speed up and improve the otherwise time consuming process of trapping and subsequent analysis.

  6. 5. Precipitation variability modulates the terrestrial carbon cycle in Scandinavia

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Ella Ek; [2021]
    Keywords : Terrestrial carbon cycle; NDVI; Precipitation variability; EOF analysis; Scandinavia; Terrestra kolcykeln; NDVI; Nederbördsvariation; EOF analys; Skandinavien;

    Abstract : Climate variability and the carbon cycle (C-cycle) are tied together in complex feedback loops and due to these complexities there are still knowledge-gaps of this coupling. However, to make accurate predictions of future climate, profound understanding of the C-cycle and climate variability is essential. READ MORE
