  1. 1. The impact of CO2 fertilisation on foliage in West and East Africa

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Gaetane Demyttenaere; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical geography and ecosystem analysis; CO2 fertilisation; semi-arid ecosystems; remote sensing; Normalised Difference Vegetation Index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic impact on terrestrial ecosystems continues to grow as we further enhance atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentrations. The changing climatic conditions and direct influence of CO₂ on vegetation has a big impact on ecosystem functions. 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. Uncovering climate and human signals in near-millennium annual fire chronology for Norrbotten county, Northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Agnieszka Jabłońska; [2021]
    Keywords : Dendrochronology; forest fire history; climate; human impact; boreal forests;

    Abstract : Forest fire is one of the major factors driving the dynamics of the boreal forest. Climate has the most significant contribution in shaping the fire occurrence, its spatial extent and severity. Anthropogenic activities have contributed to variation in fire activity, although the timing and the scale of the human impact are still heavily debated. READ MORE

  5. 4. Topographic controls of drought impact on Swedish primary forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Johanna Asch; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem analysis; primary forest; boreal forest; drought impact; topography; drainage; climate change; random forest; terrain index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. READ MORE

  6. 5. Climate change, an additional factor for considering the threat level of the snow leopard (Panthera Uncia)

    University essay from

    Author : Adam Fast; [2019]
    Keywords : Climate change; Snow leopard; IUCN; Klimatförändringar; Snöleopard;

    Abstract : The snow leopard lives in the high mountains of Asia. Threats currently facing the species are being poached for its high-valued fur and being killed by herders in retaliation for livestock predation. READ MORE
