  1. 1. Orsaker till och åtgärder för att förbättra ekonomin i förstagallringar på Åland

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Robert Hellgren; [2024]
    Keywords : förstagallring; ekonomiskt utfall; Åland;

    Abstract : Röjningsbehovet på Åland är stort och andelen eftersatta ungskogar ökar för varje år. Det ekonomiska utfallet i förstagallringar är väldigt dåligt och i många fall obetydlig, vilket gör att intresset för att röja är litet. Det leder många gånger till att ungskogarna röjs för sent och ibland uteblir röjningen helt. READ MORE

  3. 2. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Sofia Westberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; lignin; cellulose; continuous conversion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

  4. 3. Can urban tree re-inventories inform future species selection? : diameter at breast height as an indicator for tree performance in Malmö municipality’s tree database

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Hannah Kit Kraynick Braegelmann; [2023]
    Keywords : DBH; ; diameter at breast height; tree inventories; tree re-inventories; urban forestry; species selection; tree management;

    Abstract : Using the inventory database of trees for Malmö municipality, Sweden, this study explored the potential of using the diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement in re-inventories, as a decision-making tool for species selection and management in urban forests. With the escalating pressures of urbanization and unpredictable climate change effects, there is an urgent need for urban forest managers to possess reliable tools that can facilitate the selection of resilient tree species capable of thriving in diverse and changing urban contexts.

  5. 4. Demographic equilibrium modelling of single tree selection stands in Siljansfors : judging the sustainability of single tree selection systems in Sweden

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

    Author : Ludwig Olofsson; [2023]
    Keywords : CCF; continuous cover forestry; single tree selection; equilibrium models; forestry;

    Abstract : Lately debates have occurred questioning the rotation system, which is the most used silvicultural system in Sweden. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) has therefore been suggested as an alternative management method, due to its environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and higher resilience against extreme weather which is important with the current climate change.

  6. 5. Study of evaluation metrics while predicting the yield of lettuce plants in indoor farms using machine learning models

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Divya Chedayan; Harry Geo Fernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : machine learning; lettuce yield prediction; Regression; SVR; RF; DNN; MAE; MSE; RMSE; R-squared; Adjusted R-squared;

    Abstract : A key challenge for maximizing the world’s food supply is crop yield prediction. In this study, three machine models are used to predict the fresh weight (yield) of lettuce plants that are grown inside indoor farms hydroponically using the vertical farming infrastructure, namely, support vector regressor (SVR), random forest regressor (RFR), and deep neural network (DNN).
