  1. 16. Effekter av ko- och fårbete på flora och fauna i hagmarker

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Philip David; [2023]
    Keywords : betesdjur; beteseffekt; ko; får; hagmark; gräsmark; insekter; pollinatörer; växter; artrikedom; artsammansättning;

    Abstract : Öppna gräsmarker är viktiga för många olika djur och växtarter, de är dock inte lika vanliga som de en gång var och i samband med ett moderniserat jordbruk. Dessa gräsmarker är ofta beroende av skötsel i form av till exempel slåtter eller bete för att bibehålla sina ekologiska strukturer, som till exempel låg näringshalt och stora öppna ytor. READ MORE

  3. 17. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
    Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

  4. 18. Coexisting with Nature - Bringing Ecological Principles Into the Design Disciplines.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Hannes Gärdenfors; [2023]
    Keywords : Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : Urban environments are often seen as the opposite of natural environments, with the belief that the built cannot accommodate the natural. However, this is a false perception. Ecological systems within urban environments are of great importance and can provide microclimates and habitats that do not exist in surrounding areas. READ MORE

  5. 19. Coexistence - A place for all

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Antonia Fe Sophia Jacob-Neubert; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable Neighborhood; Bottom-up Strategy; Urban Nature; Urban Ecology; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : "Wasserstadt - a place of coexistence" Global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, population growth, and migration will inevitably change the way we live. Cities are conglomerates of many and, thus, are often perceived as a threat to wildlife and plant life. READ MORE

  6. 20. The perfect wing, The perfect trade-off? : What implements the main selection pressure on wing morphology?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Emme MacDonald; [2023]
    Keywords : Bird; wing morphology; migration; habitat; aspect ratio; wing loading;

    Abstract : Selection pressure is a constant force in evolution, pushing birds and their wings towards an optimal shape and structure, were increasing performance, and minimizing the costs is central. But even though the science of aerodynamics can provide calculations of the optimal construction for the wing in different situations this rarely directly correspond to what is observed in nature.
