1. 1. Tillväxt hos inhemska trädslag i Borneo : en jämförelse av 34 arter inom ett återbeskogningsförsök

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

   Author : Filip Bonnerup; Simon Vesterlund; [2022]
   Keywords : återbeskogning; inhemska arter; kolinlagring; tropisk; Borneo;

   Abstract : Degradation of tropical forests have had a major negative impact on biodiversity in these speciesrich systems, as well as lowering carbon sequestration. This results in these systems losing their potential to bind parts of the carbon dioxide that is causing the ongoing climate change. READ MORE

3. 2. Sumatranoshörningen (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) på gränsen till utrotning - En riskanalys

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

   Author : Amanda Gagné; [2021]
   Keywords : Sumatran rhinoceros; risk assessment; threats; conservation; Indonesia; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) has, due to previous hunting and habitat loss, diminished to a few non-viable and fragmented populations. Despite a relatively large amount of conservation efforts during the last 30 years, numbers are still declining. READ MORE

4. 3. Biological Soil Invertebrate Activity in a Tropical Rainforest : A comparison of soil invertebrate activity in two tropical rain forests in Borneo

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Hanna Berglund; [2020]
   Keywords : Soil Activity; Bait Lamina Stick;

   Abstract : Logging of tropical forests is increasing worldwide. Logging alters the forest conditions such as temperature, soil water content and litter input into the soil. This study explored how soil invertebrate activity in Borneo differs between pristine forests and two secondary forests, with 10 and 40 years of recovery time since the last logging. READ MORE

5. 4. “We the various races” : Developing Role theory: The Bakun dam case

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Summer Isaacson; [2019]
   Keywords : Role theory; Constructivism; Power; Bakun dam; Indigenous people; Sarawak;

   Abstract : This descriptive essay aims to develop constructivist Role theory. Specifically, it examines the potential of applying role analysis to a case of two types of actors; marginalized citizens and their state decision makers. READ MORE

6. 5. Total carbon sequestration during an entire rotation period of oil palm in northern Borneo

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

   Author : Josefin Runesson; [2019]
   Keywords : oil palm; carbon balance; carbon sequestration; land use change; soil carbon; carbon credits;

   Abstract : Considerable amounts of carbon (C) has been lost from tropical forests as a result of continuous conversion of tropical forests into oil palm plantations. Therefore, a better understanding of the C budget and potential sequestration rate in oil palm plantations and how it compares to natural forests is needed. READ MORE
