  1. 1. Incorporation of climate effects in marine spatial planning. Possible Climate Refugia on the Swedish West Coast Based on Two Climate Scenarios

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

    Author : Eric Strömberg; [2023-08-11]
    Keywords : Climate Refugia; Climate Change; Representative Concentration Patterns; Marine Spatial Planning; Geographical Information Systems; Temperature; Salinity; Marine Management; Swedish West Coast;

    Abstract : Climate change poses a significant threat to the survival and distribution of marine species and habitats. Identification and conservation of climate refugia have emerged as a strategy to safeguard vulnerable habitats and promote species resilience. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling the Impact of Climate and Socio-Economic Changes on Nutrient Dynamics in the Catchment of Lake Vomb

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Yanhe Zhou; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate change; hydrological modelling; nutrient; RCP; socioeconomic development; SSP; SWAT; water quality modelling;

    Abstract : Climate change and socio-economic development are greatly affecting the quality of freshwater, especially the excessive accumulation of nutrients (N and P), which eventually leads to the occurrence of eutrophication. Lake Vomb is one of the main sources of drinking water in southern Sweden and the nutrient load from the catchment makes it a eutrophic lake with recurring algal blooms. READ MORE

  4. 3. Estimating Future Forest Fire Risk in Gävleborg County Sweden in 2041-2070 Following RCP 8.5

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Vendela Cyrén; [2023]
    Keywords : Future forest fire risk; RCP 8.5; Gävleborg county; Climate change; Forest fire; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Forest fires can act as an ecosystem service by providing habitat renewal, controlling pests, and reducing the risk of extreme fires, but can at the same time disturb an ecosystem negatively. Furthermore, forest fires release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, damage property, and lead to health issues. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Effects of Climate Change on Zirben (Pinus cembra) Distribution in the Italian Alps

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nicholas Asplin; [2023]
    Keywords : Pinus Cembra; Tree line; Tree line shift; Alps; Climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic climate change has caused temperature increases all across the globe. Mountainous areas are among the most affected and are experiencing alarming rates of warming. Such rapid warming will have effects on alpine vegetation and their distribution throughout the alps. READ MORE

  6. 5. Assessing the Impacts of Future Climate Change on Tree Cover Densities in Nigeria with a Proposal of States Suitable for Climate Mitigation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Paula von Tschischwitz; [2023]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. READ MORE
