  1. 1. Vedlevande skalbaggar 10–20 år efter brand i tallskog : en jämförelse mellan hällmark och produktiv mark

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

    Author : KajsaLisa Olsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Tallimpediment; biologisk mångfald; vedlevande skalbaggar; naturvårdsbränning; Pinus sylvestris;

    Abstract : The Swedish boreal forests have changed drastically in the last century. Intensive forestry with clear-cuttings and fire-prevention, cause a lack in dead wood diversity and volume. The current research on forests mainly focuses on productive forests and there is a knowledge gap regarding the importance of low-productive forest for biodiversity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design of a 2-D Lattice Flower Constellation for Earth observation applying the twin satellite concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Julia Martín-Fuertes Brañas; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; number of satellites; number of planes; revisit time; coverage; optimized constellation; target list; twin satellite concept; FreeFlyer; 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; antal satelliter; antal plan; återbesökstid; täckning; optimerad konstellation; mållista; tvilling-satellit-koncept; FreeFlyer;

    Abstract : Events such as forest fires or floods are a danger to our Earth’s environment and the people living in it. The sooner they can be detected, the less damage they can cause. An idea arises: use satellites to monitor the Earth and relay information to prevention and rescue organizations in a very short time, regardless of accessibility from ground. READ MORE

  4. 3. Where there is road, there is fire (influence): An exploratory study on the influence of roads in the spatial patterns of Swedish wildfires of 2018

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Gabriel Romeo Ferriols Pavico; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wildfire; Fire Spatial Patterns; Road; Conformity; FWI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires.

  5. 4. Nature representation in forest fire management in Jämtland, Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Swenja Dorn; [2023]
    Keywords : nature; representation; nature representation; forest fire management;

    Abstract : With a globally increasing mean temperature and drier summers in Europe, forest fires are becoming a wider known issue in the forest landscape. Having been part of the boreal forest landscape for millennia, their influence becomes more pronounced due to these changes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Julia Edje; [2023]
    Keywords : vegetation recovery; MODIS; HRT; EVI; fire; burn severity; land cover; climate zone; California;

    Abstract : Human-caused forest fires have increased in magnitude and frequency, affecting global vegetation and requiring a re-evaluation of fire regimes. Changing fire regimes have led to reduced burned areas in fire- dependent ecosystems and increased areas in fire-independent ecosystems, resulting in changes in land cover and posing a threat to native plant communities.
