  1. 11. Comparative genomics of Central Arctic Ocean microbiota for observation of Alternative Carbon Fixation Pathways

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Kaavya Venkateswaran; [2023]
    Keywords : comparative genomics; microbial ecology; bioinformatics; carbon fixation; pangenomics;

    Abstract : The Central Arctic Ocean is a repository of rich and diverse biota, whose major portion is one of the most important drivers of global biogeochemical cycles, including carbon cycling. In this study, the functional potential of the microbiota to fix carbon with alternative carbon fixation pathways were investigated along with their chemolithotrophic characteristics. READ MORE

  3. 12. Pollinator communities on a landscape complexity gradient in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Hanna Olsson; [2023]
    Keywords : pollinator; bumblebee; rough pasture; semi-natural pasture; unimproved grazing; landscape complexity;

    Abstract : Investigating how pollinator populations are affected by land use changes is crucial for predicting their persistence in the landscape and thereby the persistence of the significant service they provide to crop production. Pollinator populations are subjected to multiple threats, particularly overall intensification of cropping systems and landscape simplification. READ MORE

    Keywords : age; Canis lupus; food availability; inbreeding; natal territory; season; sex; wolf density;

    Abstract : Large carnivours are suffering from population declines all over the world, but many have also recolonized parts of their previous habitats. However, recovery by these species is usually slow and challenging. READ MORE

  5. 14. The Impact of Environmental and Social Challenges ofLithium Extraction from the Lithium Triangle Countries : A Literature Review from a Political Ecology and Environmental JusticePerspective

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Aoife Carlander-Reuterfelt Hegarty; [2023]
    Keywords : Political ecology; Environmental Justice; Lithium triangle; Lithium extraction; Indigenous communities; Water justice;

    Abstract : The extraction of lithium, a crucial mineral for the production of batteries in the rapidlyexpanding electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors, has gained significant attention due toits environmental and social implications. This thesis provides a comprehensive literature reviewon the environmental and social challenges associated with lithium extraction from the LithiumTriangle countries, namely Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, through the lens of political ecology.

  6. 15. Review of pH recommendations for soilless cultivation systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elric Fabricius; [2023]
    Keywords : soilless cultivation; hydroponics; aeroponics; NFT; nutrient film technique; DWC; deep water culture; pH; nutrient solution; speciation; availability; biomass production;

    Abstract : Our human population is growing, and with that, so is our demand for food, food that today still is not a guarantee for all of us. To help increase global food security, the diversification of our food production through the implementation of soilless, hydroponic cultivation systems has been suggested. READ MORE
