  1. 11. Plant community responses to 15 years of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization along an elevational gradient in the subarctic tundra

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Gaya Ten Kate; [2023]
    Keywords : arctic tundra; climate change; fertilization; nitrogen; phosphorus; plant community composition; species richness; Simpson’s diversity; Shannon-Wiener diversity; elevational gradient;

    Abstract : Climate change in the Arctic has profound effects on tundra vegetation, directly through increasing temperatures and indirectly through changes in plant community composition and nutrient cycling. Fertilization experiments are widely used to study the effects of increased nutrient availability on arctic tundra vegetation. READ MORE

  3. 12. Reconnecting Gävle’s Delta : a post-industrial urban transformation project for Sweden’s coastal landscape

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Rachel Murray; [2023]
    Keywords : resilience; blue-green infrastructure; nature-based solutions; flooding; brownfield development; post-industrial urban development; landscape architecture; urban planning; climate adaptation; water-sensitive urban design; urban ecology;

    Abstract : This speculative design-led research project addresses the challenges of transforming dilapidated post-industrial brownfield sites into thriving, sustainable, resilient urban neighbourhoods. Tasked with allocating urban growth, municipality planning departments increasingly look towards underused but centrally located industrial sites for future development. READ MORE

  4. 13. The Element at the End of the World: Chile’s Green Hydrogen Strategy and the Global Energy Transition

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

    Author : Eric Teller; [2023]
    Keywords : Scale; pink tide; green development; Chile; hydrogen; climate change; political ecology; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Chile is positioning itself as a leader in the transition to green energy, particularly through its National Green Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to make Chile one of the world’s leading exporters of carbon-neutral hydrogen for energy and industrial applications. This thesis examines Chile’s green hydrogen policy from a political ecology perspective, in the context of 1) the Chilean state’s conception of green development; 2) hydrogen’s political, economic, and ecological challenges to scale; and 3) the left-wing government’s attempt to implement a socially and environmentally just environmental policy paradigm.

  5. 14. Review of pH recommendations for soilless cultivation systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elric Fabricius; [2023]
    Keywords : soilless cultivation; hydroponics; aeroponics; NFT; nutrient film technique; DWC; deep water culture; pH; nutrient solution; speciation; availability; biomass production;

    Abstract : Our human population is growing, and with that, so is our demand for food, food that today still is not a guarantee for all of us. To help increase global food security, the diversification of our food production through the implementation of soilless, hydroponic cultivation systems has been suggested. READ MORE

  6. 15. Effekter av ko- och fårbete på flora och fauna i hagmarker

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Abstract : Öppna gräsmarker är viktiga för många olika djur och växtarter, de är dock inte lika vanliga som de en gång var och i samband med ett moderniserat jordbruk. Dessa gräsmarker är ofta beroende av skötsel i form av till exempel slåtter eller bete för att bibehålla sina ekologiska strukturer, som till exempel låg näringshalt och stora öppna ytor. READ MORE
