  1. 16. Analysis of the history of landscape changes over a period of 200 years. How can we predict past landscape pattern scenario and the impact on habitat diversity?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Yann Buhot; [2013]
    Keywords : physical geography; ecosystem analysis; GIS; historical maps; rural landscape; general linear model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Popular Science The decline of plant species biodiversity is closely linked with changes in rural landscape both in time and space. During the last 200 years rural landscape has undergone dramatic changes. Before 1900 rural landscape was mainly composed of grassland and wooded area with grazing cattle. READ MORE

  3. 17. Variability of intermittent headwater streams in boreal landscape : Influence of different discharge conditions

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

    Author : Tum Nhim; [2012]
    Keywords : Dynamic stream network; intermittent streams; headwater stream; stream heads; wetness conditions; streamflow;

    Abstract : Dynamic expansions and contractions of stream networks can play an important role for hydrologic processes as they can connect different parts of the landscape to the stream channels. However, we know little about the temporal and spatial variations of stream networks during different flow and wetness conditions. READ MORE

  4. 18. Estimating contemporary methane emissions from tropical wetlands using multiple modelling approaches

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shubangi Lamba; [2012]

    Author : Moses Otuba; [2012]
    Keywords : management regimes; production; understory; eucalyptus; nitrogen- fixing tree species; policies; legislations; smallholders; tropics; sub-tropics;

    Abstract : A literature review on the alternative management regimes of eucalyptus; policy and sustainability issues of smallholder eucalyptus woodlots in the tropics and sub-tropics was carried out in autumn, 2011. The aim of the study was to review alternatives to the traditional management regimes under which smallholders in these areas produce eucalyptus and policies in Kenya affecting this production.

  6. 20. Mapping wetland areas on forested landsacpes using Radarasat-2 and Landsat-5 TM data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Resource Management

    Author : Jennifer Martin; [2012]
    Keywords : Radarsat; Landsat; wetlands; classification; land cover; multi-soruce data; remote sensing; Random Forests; Maximum Likelihood Classifier;

    Abstract : Wetlands are an important ecosystem for many vital functions such as groundwater recharge, flood control, water quality improvement, and to mitigate erosion. Monitoring and mapping wetlands on a large scale is becoming increasingly more important, and satellite remote sensing provides a practical approach. READ MORE
