  1. 1. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

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

    Author : Nicole Scholte Lubberink; [2023]
    Keywords : fragmentation; anthropogenic deforestation; camera traps; occupancy modelling; detection probability;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic deforestation is a major threat to forest environments, as it leads to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many species suffer from these consequences due to reduced resource availability or connectivity. Forests in Madagascar have drastically been reduced in the past few centuries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Holocene vegetation change and its correlates in fennoscandia

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Raphaela Infanger; [2022-10-21]
    Keywords : Fennoscandia; Holocene; human impact; climate impact; vegetation change; fossil pollen;

    Abstract : Climatic and anthropogenic legacy has differently impacted vegetation and its community composition. To determine the extent and origin of changes across Fennoscandia, representative regions were defined that entailed sufficient spatial and temporal data. READ MORE

  4. 3. Examining the protective services of mangroves at a regional scale in Indonesia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Mikaela Gomez; [2022]
    Keywords : Mangroves; Nature-Based Solutions; Disaster Risk Reduction; Exposure; GIS; Remote Sensing; Science General;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves.

  5. 4. Sumatranoshörningen (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) på gränsen till utrotning - En riskanalys

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Amanda Gagné; [2021]
    Keywords : Sumatran rhinoceros; risk assessment; threats; conservation; Indonesia; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) has, due to previous hunting and habitat loss, diminished to a few non-viable and fragmented populations. Despite a relatively large amount of conservation efforts during the last 30 years, numbers are still declining. READ MORE

  6. 5. Reconstruction of past European land cover from pollen data: using spatial statistics and Crank-Nicolson Monte Carlo

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Lovisa Svensson; [2019]
    Keywords : Pollen data; compositional data; Dirichlet distribution; spatio-temporal reconstruction; Kronecker product; Gaussian Markov random field GMRF ; Markov Chain Monte Carlo MCMC ; Metropolis Hastings MH ; Metropolis adjusted Langevin algorithm MALA ; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Given a pollen data set from Europe over a time period, the aim is to reconstruct the past land cover by interpolating from the pollen data values to a continuous map. The data is on compositional form with three vegetation categories; coniferous forest, broadleaved forest and open land. READ MORE
