    University essay from Lunds universitet/Historisk osteologi

    Author : Sandra Fritz; [2021]
    Keywords : Paleodemography; Transition Analysis; Middle Ages; Helsingborg; Osteology; History and Archaeology;

    Abstract : Paleodemography is the study of evaluating and reconstructing ancient populations based on the processes of fertility, mortality and migration. In addition, structural variables such as life expectancy, population distribution and population density are included in order to calculate the demography of a given population at a given time.

    Keywords : geographic context variables; spatial demography; historic demography; spatial longitudinal demographic research; geography; physical geography; distance calculation methods; geographic levels; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Spatial analysis is dependent on the geo-referencing quality of the spatial data, as well as on the definition of the geographic context variables used. However, these facts are rarely taken into consideration in historical demographic research where the geographic factor is considered. READ MORE

  5. 4. Life history trade-offs in Anadromous Burbot Lota lota (Linnaeus 1758) from Rickleån and Sävarån, Northern Sweden

  6. 5. Effect of planting density and abiotic conditions on yield of Betula pendula and Pinus sylvestris seedlings in monoculture and mixture

    Author : Jennifer McGuinness; [2014]
    Keywords : abiotic environment; Betula pendula; density gradient; Interaction effects; Pinus sylvestris; Planting density; planting composition; seedling yield;

    Abstract : How the yield of mature stands changes in response to factors such as stand composition, planting density and abiotic conditions is a developing topic, and underpins models and generalizations used by forest managers today. However, these generalizations are both the subject of debate and are limited to mature stands, leaving a knowledge gap concerning both mixed species stands and younger stands. READ MORE
