  1. 1. Developing an Advanced Method for Kinship from Ancient DNA Data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Erkin Alacamli; [2023]
    Keywords : aDNA; ancient DNA; kinship estimation;

    Abstract :  The analysis of kinship from ancient DNA (aDNA) data has the potential to provide insight into social structures of prehistoric societies. Kinship analysis is gaining popularity as optimised wet-lab methods allow for studies with sample sizes on the level of whole cemeteries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Companion crops in winter oilseed rape : effects on nitrogen concentration, biomass, and prevalence of weeds at the end of autumn growth

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Stina Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : biomass; companion crops; intercropping; legumes; nitrogen concentration; organic cultivation; weeds; winter oilseed rape;

    Abstract : Intercropping can be used as a management system to promote higher yield as well as less weeds,diseases, and insect damage. Legumes are a commonly used companion crop (CC) in intercropping due to the benefit of nitrogen (N) fixation. READ MORE

  4. 3. FOREST LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE OF CAPERCAILLIE (TETRAO UROGALLUS) LEK SITES IN NORTHERN SWEDEN : Analysis of lek site characteristics

  5. 4. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Margot Jeanne Knapen; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; LPJ-GUESS; Arctic; FLUXNET; Gross Primary Productivity; Ecosystem Respiration; Permafrost; Active Layer Thickness; Snow Depth; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

  6. 5. Towards climate optimised riparian buffer zones in boreal forests

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

    Author : Alice Falk; [2022]
    Keywords : Forestry; Biogeochemical hotspots; Carbon dioxide; Methane;

    Abstract : Boreal forests have the potential to mitigate the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. However, forestry alters the soil biogeochemical processes which can cause an increase in GHG emissions from nearby water bodies, soil and vegetation. READ MORE
