  1. 1. Topographic controls of drought impact on Swedish primary forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Johanna Asch; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem analysis; primary forest; boreal forest; drought impact; topography; drainage; climate change; random forest; terrain index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. READ MORE

  3. 2. How does species density affect activity patterns of three sympatric ungulate species in a Scandinavian boreal forest?

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

    Author : Linda Zetterkvist; [2020]
    Keywords : telemetry; pellet count; camera trap; linear mixed model; ungulate management; red deer; roe deer; moose;

    Abstract : Ungulate management becomes more complex when new species are being introduced and favorable habitats are created by commercial forestry and other forms of land use, resulting in increasing populations. Climate change is also affecting their distributions by altering their ability to spread from their historical range. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of the global ESA GlobPermafrost map for Scandinavia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap
