  1. 31. Where are the forests with highest biomass in Sweden located?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Hugo Bergman; [2021]
    Keywords : Biomass; Biomass density; Forest biomass; Boreal forests; Forest management; Primary forest; Protected forest; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Identification of high-biomass sites can lead to further studies on their ecology with the purpose to inform climate change mitigation decisions or give an indication to which sites need stronger protection. The purpose of this study was to, via a remotely sensed data set of tree biomass, identify the locations with the highest biomass in Sweden. READ MORE

  3. 32. Adaptive Forest Policy : The Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction through Nature-Based Solutions in Swedish and Scottish Forest Policy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Julia Magnusson; [2021]
    Keywords : Forest Ecosystem Services; Forest Biodiversity; Nature Conservation; Policy Analysis; Scotland; Sustainable Development; Sweden;

    Abstract : Climate change may cause significant changes to our relationship with nature, triggering large impacts on ecosystems and the societies dependent on their ecosystem services. Forests are seen as a mitigating solution for their abilities to store carbon, provide forest products, enhance biodiversity along with other forest ecosystem services (FES). READ MORE

  4. 33. All scales matter : effects on the landscape-, stand-, substrate- and temporal scale on occurrence of two deadwood living microlichens

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Edith Bremer; [2021]
    Keywords : extinction debt; deadwood; microlichens; continuity forest; landscape structure;

    Abstract : Understanding extinction debt and how species are affected by landscape structure is important knowledge in order to form strategies for species protection in forestry and conservation. In this study, I investigate whether an extinction debt can be detected in two deadwood living lichen species by modelling their occurrence against past and present habitat amount in the landscape as well as amount of continuity forest (i.

  5. 34. Expressing ecosystem model output and Swedish forestry goals with composite indictors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nicolas Tarasewicz; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; forest management; multifunctionality; LPJ-GUESS; ecosystem services; composite indicator; climate change; biodiversity; SDGs; Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of services necessary for maintaining environmental health and human well-being. Ecosystem models help inform how various management strategies respond in different regions to changing climate conditions. READ MORE

  6. 35. Using Supervised Learning and Data Fusion to Detect Network Attacks

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Jesper Hautsalo; [2021]
    Keywords : Network intrusion detection; IDS; network attacks; supervised learning;

    Abstract : Network attacks remain a constant threat to organizations around the globe. Intrusion detection systems provide a vital piece of the protection needed in order to fend off these attacks. Machine learning has become a popular method for developing new anomaly-based intrusion detection systems, and in recent years, deep learning has followed suit. READ MORE
