1. 16. Assessing the relation between temperature buffering, soil moisture, and canopy cover in a Swedish coniferous forest

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Mark Van der Keijl; [2023]
   Keywords : Temperature buffering; forest microclimate; soil moisture; canopy cover; forest management; Sweden;

   Abstract : Forests buffer temperature extremes through processes such as canopy shading, wind speed reduction, and evapotranspiration. As a result, microclimates are formed within forests whose climatic conditions are distinctly different from the surrounding macroclimate. READ MORE

3. 17. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : David Ebert; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

4. 18. Holocene vegetation change and its correlates in fennoscandia

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Raphaela Infanger; [2022-10-21]
   Keywords : Fennoscandia; Holocene; human impact; climate impact; vegetation change; fossil pollen;

   Abstract : Climatic and anthropogenic legacy has differently impacted vegetation and its community composition. To determine the extent and origin of changes across Fennoscandia, representative regions were defined that entailed sufficient spatial and temporal data. READ MORE

5. 19. Grain Size Analysis of Late Pleistocene Loess Deposits, Jersey

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Joakim Edlund; [2022]
   Keywords : Jersey; loess; grain size; ice age; past climate; Jersey; löss; kornstorlek; istid; forntida klimat;

   Abstract : As the world faces the effects of rapid climate change it is essential that we understand how the Earth’s climate has evolved in recent geological history. The island of Jersey harbours loess deposits which hold clues to recent climate change which have not been extensively studied. READ MORE

6. 20. INDIVIDUAL TRAIT MATCHING OF BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS) AND FLOWERS ALONG AN ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Johan Per Michael Svedin; [2022]
   Keywords : Arctic climate change; Bombus; Flower morphology; Plant-pollinator trait-matching;

   Abstract : Insect pollinators serve a critical role in maintaining plant biodiversity and are especially susceptible to changes within their environment. To study the possible effects of seasonal variation in temperature, as well as climatic temperature increase on the plant-pollinator community, the relationship between bumblebee and flowering plant traits along an elevational gradient, representing warming-induced changes in plant community, were examined.
