1. 1. Stadsträd – i nöd och lust : skillnader i reglerande och stödjande ekosystemtjänster mellan löv- och barrträd i stadsmiljö

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

   Author : Jennifer Engelbrekt Tchang; Sara Karlsson; [2023]
   Keywords : ekosystemtjänst; lövträd; barrträd; stadsträd; luftrening; dagvattenhantering; vindskydd; temperaturreglering; kolupptagning; kolinlagring; biologisk mångfald;

   Abstract : Träd har en viktig roll i att klimatanpassa städer genom att leverera ekosystemtjänster. I nordiska städer planteras mest lövträd eftersom det historiskt funnits ett kulturellt motstånd mot barrträd. READ MORE

3. 2. Växtval för att motverka värmeöeffekten : kan träden i Malmö användas för att minska värmebildning i staden?

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

   Author : Anton Wallenstad; [2022]
   Keywords : värmeöeffekten; urbanisering; klimatförändringar; ; vegetation; träd; skugga; transpiration;

   Abstract : Klimatförändringar har förekommit genom alla tider, men de som ägt rum de senaste decennierna och förväntas fortsätta i samma riktning i framtiden är mer extrema än alla skådade de senaste århundradena. Med klimatförändringarna förväntas medeltemperaturerna öka och med dem ökar även risken för extrema väderfenomen som torka och värmeböljor. READ MORE

4. 3. The intraspecific drought tolerance of Betula pendula Roth. : ecotypic aptitude as tree selection criteria for the urban landscape

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

   Author : Simon Hannus; [2021]
   Keywords : Betula pendula; clinal variation; drought tolerance; ecosystem services; ecotypes; potential evapotranspiration; turgor loss point; urban forestry; urban resilience; urban tree selection;

   Abstract : The ecosystem services provided by urban trees are substantial contributors to the quality of urban living, and their environmentally regulating capabilities are increasingly regarded as integral in order to efficiently secure urban resilience, by ameliorating the human and material impacts of extreme weather events. However, current trends of urban development presents challenges of how to preserve urban greenery ecosystem functioning, particularly in light of the ongoing climate change; which also has brought forth the importance of taxonomically diverse urban forests, to mitigate risks of catastrophic tree loss associated with these conditions.

5. 4. Testing the potential to evaluate vegetation optical depth with ecosystem water dynamics in a temperate forest

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Ainahu Abdul Hamid; [2021]
   Keywords : Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Vegetation optical depth; Temperate Forest; Climate; LPJ-GUESS; Evapotranspiration; Leaf water potential; Isohydricity; Hydraulic failure; Carbon starvation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. READ MORE

6. 5. Vad gör en växt torktålig? : fysiologiska och morfologiska egenskaper i blad och rötter anpassade för en urban ståndort

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

   Author : Arvid Lizell; [2021]
   Keywords : torktålighet; vedartat; strategier; turgor loss point;

   Abstract : The aim of this literature study is to examine and collect available information about physiological and morphological drought strategies and traits in woody species. Furthermore, the intention is to, based on collected information, discuss how this knowledge can be applied to the use of woody plant species in urban environments. READ MORE
