  1. 6. 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. 7. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on albedo using Sentinel-2 data in southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victor Andréasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical geography and ecosystem science; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2; Albedo; Agriculture; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. READ MORE

  4. 8. Electrochemical oxidation of PFAS in soil conditions : Using Boron-doped diamond electrodes and iron electrodes

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Alexander Öhberg; [2022]
    Keywords : PFAS ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION IN-SITU DESTRUCTION MINERALISATION REMOVAL;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a rising topic in the field of contaminated sites around the world, with destruction of these being an area in dire need of innovation. Previous experiments of destructive character have been proven efficient using boron doped diamond electrodes (BDD) in small scale electrochemical cells. READ MORE

  5. 9. Viticulture in cold climate toward more sustainable wine production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Noha Baraka Wadha; [2022]
    Keywords : viticulture; cold climate; sustainable viticulture; viticulture and climate change; sustainable challenges; fungi resistance; SWOT; Terroir;

    Abstract : This literature study investigates viticulture in a cold climate and how climate change could contribute to a more sustainable wine production. This study aims to investigate if wine production in cold climate regions could create a dynamic balance between productivity and the consumption of natural resources. READ MORE

  6. 10. Improved Understanding of Water Balance in the Malwathu Oya River Basin Using SWAT and Remote Sensing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexander Fors; [2022]
    Keywords : actual evapotranspiration; Malwathu Oya; remote sensing; Sri Lanka; SWAT modelling; SWAT calibration; WaPOR; water balance; faktisk evapotranspiration; fjärranalys; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; SWAT-modellering; SWAT-kalibrering; vattenbalans; WaPOR;

    Abstract : As the need for climatic data is increasing in times of climate change and water scarcity, remote sensing (RS) and hydrological modelling are ways to battle these problems, especially in data scarce areas. The actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is one of the key parameters when assessing the water balance and a good estimate of this parameter is thus of great importance. READ MORE
