1. 1. MODELLING THE SMOLT PRODUCTIVITY OF BROWN TROUT (SALMO TRUTTA) IN HAGA Å

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Lukas Almgren; [2023-10-30]
   Keywords : Brown trout; Salmo trutta; Trout habitat score; THS; Haga å; electro-fishing survey;

   Abstract : The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a facultatively anadromous species, some individuals migrate from the rearing environment in the rivers to the sea while other individuals stay in fresh water. To determine the suitability of a stream for juvenile trout the organization SGBALANST has developed what is called the "Trout habitat score" (THS) model. READ MORE

4. 3. Future climate suitability of shade trees in cocoa agroforestry systems in West Africa and shade tree diversity’s impact on farm microclimate : A Minor Field Study

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Jonna Halonen; [2023]
   Keywords : species distribution modeling; cocoa agroforestry; shade trees; West Africa; microclimate; distributionsmodell; kakaoskogslantbruk; skuggträd; Västafrika; mikroklimat;

   Abstract : Shade trees’ implementation into cocoa agroforestry systems in tropical West Africa has proven to have a high potential in increasing farm resilience and mitigating climate change. However, no studies have yet examined the potential future climate suitability for shade trees in the region, which is important when deciding which shade trees to implement. READ MORE

5. 4. Mapping Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra) Habitat Suitability in Baden-Württemberg with Multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2022]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Habitat Suitability; Remote Sensing; Image Classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Remote sensing image classification is used in land cover, forest type and tree species classifications but rarely considered for habitat suitability modelling of animal and plant species. It is instead common that land cover products derived from remote sensing data are used in these modelling problems, even though satellite imagery can provide more detailed information. READ MORE
