  1. 16. Assessment of how environmental variables and vegetation structure influence peatland carbon fluxes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Bernabé Ramírez; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Boreal peatlands are important ecosystems from a carbon balance perspective because they are natural carbon sinks as a result of millennia of peat formation. However, due to climate change, these ecosystems are susceptible to changes in hydrology and temperature. READ MORE

  2. 17. Application of HEC-HMS modelling on River Storån,Model evaluation and analysis of the processes by using soil moisture accounting loss method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Pooja Makki Vijayaprakash; [2021]
    Keywords : River Storån; HEC-HMS; SMA; streamflow; baseflow; evapotranspiration; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. READ MORE

  3. 18. Legacy effects of spring temperature anomalies on seasonal productivities in northern ecosystems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Hanna Marsh; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Northern ecosystems; Legacy effects; Climate Change; Gross Primary Production; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Legacy effects of spring temperature anomalies on seasonal productivities in northern ecosystems Direct and lagged effects from spring temperature anomalies for the time-period 2001-2018 have been investigated for northern ecosystems (> 30°N). Three different data sets of Gross Primary Production (GPP) estimates (GOSIF, NIRvGPP and FLUX GPP) have been used in tandem with concurrent climate data to find significant correlations between spring growth and temperature anomalies and subsequent growing seasons.

  4. 19. Movement ecology of ungulate communities : effect of species densities and habitat selection

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Linda Zetterkvist; [2020]
    Keywords : step-selection; wildlife management; diurnal activity; moose Alces alces ; red deer Cervus elaphus ; roe deer Capreolus capreolus ;

    Abstract : Animal movement is a topic important in various different ecological perspectives. Ungulate species are an important source of income, hunting game and subject for protection and management all across the globe. READ MORE

  5. 20. NDVI time series analysis for desert locust outbreak detection and quantification analysis of its impact on vegetation productivity of Sahel

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Evangelos Oikonomopoulos; [2020]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Primary Productivity; Desert Locust; NDVI; Time Series Analysis; Outbreak Detection; Food Security; Sahel; Insect Disturbances; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : It has been shown that the semi-arid environment of the Sahelian belt plays an important role in the global carbon uptake as the fluctuation of its primary productivity can be determinant for the global carbon uptake. The insect Schistocerca gregaria commonly known as the desert locust is a disturbance factor that can affect the vegetation productivity for consecutive seasons. READ MORE
