1. 1. Climate, Irrigation, and GHGs : a Regional Analysis of EU Arable Land Values

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Filip Markovic; [2024]
   Keywords : air pollution; climate change; EU; global warming; irrigation; land value;

   Abstract : This master's thesis explores the influence of climate conditions on EU arable land values, pioneering a novel approach that blends the Ricardian Approach models within an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) framework. By employing this methodology at the regional level of NUTS2, the study offers insights into the interplay between climate and land value. READ MORE

3. 2. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

4. 3. 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

5. 4. Co-occurring Cold Extremes in North America and Unusually Warm Weather in Europe

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Petros Stergiou; [2023]
   Keywords : Extreme temperature events co-occurrence; cold spells; warm extremes; Europe; North America; Pan-Atlantic atmospheric teleconnections; Samtidiga extrema temperaturhändelser; kalla extrema; varma extrema; Europa; Nordamerika; Pan-Atlantiska atmosfäriska telekopplingar;

   Abstract : In this project, we identified and examined the 50 coldest extreme temperature eventsin North America (CENA) and the 50 warmest extreme temperature events insouthwestern Europe (WEEU) during the winter seasons from 1948 to 2023. For theanalysis, we utilized daily NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data for temperature, sea levelpressure (SLP), and 500hPa geopotential height (Z500). READ MORE
