  1. 1. Impact of management intensity on the plant diversity and soil carbon of grasslands in different agro-climatic regions of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Hugo Blomberg; [2021]
    Keywords : plant species richness; pasture; meadow; soil C; subarctic; humid continental; oceanic; ploughing; fertilization; temperate; continental;

    Abstract : Biodiversity loss is a global issue and within the EU and Sweden, funding is available for practices that can enhance biodiversity. Semi-natural grasslands, either cut or grazed, have proven to host a wide range of biodiversity that can serve important eco-system functions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Water storage in the lichen genus Usnea in Sweden and Norway : Can morphological and water storage traits explain the distribution and ecology of epiphytic species?

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Amanda Eriksson; [2015]
    Keywords : Usnea; hair lichens; water; water holding capacity; morphology;

    Abstract : Lichens are poikilohydric and cannot control water uptake and loss, water relations could therefore impact their distribution. This study examines if morphological, anatomical, and water storage traits could explain distribution of epiphytic species in the lichen genus Usnea. READ MORE

  4. 3. Potential for cultivation of Miscanthus x Giganteus for biofuel production in different climate zones : with a changing climate and limited water resources

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Author : Erik Tobin; Linnéa Tjernström; [2013]
    Keywords : biofuel; miscanthus; global warming; CoupModel; water balance; energy crop;

    Abstract : Miscanthus Giganteus is a rapidly growing perennial grass utilizing C4 photosynthesis that is a promising candidate as a raw resource for “second generation” biofuel production. This study seeks to determine the long-term sustainability, from a water balance perspective, of cultivating this plant in different climate zones. READ MORE

  5. 4. Proposing a Theoretical GIS Model for Landslides Analysis : The Case of Mount Cameroon

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Mathias Ashu Tako Tambe-Ebot; [2011]
    Keywords : Geomorphic factors; Mount Cameroon Region; Cameroon Volcanic Line CVL ; Geographic Information Systems GIS ; structural feature; landslides; geomorphology; physiography; digital data;

    Abstract : This study presents a theoretical GIS model to investigate the relative impacts of geomorphic and environmental factors that govern the occurrence of landslides on the slopes of Mount Cameroon and its surrounding areas. The study area is located along the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), a major structural feature that originates from the south Atlantic and continues into the continental landmass. READ MORE
